Written for readers who have finished Book 1.
Mrs Pengelly is Edie's billet host — the gruff, fair, unsentimental Devon farm wife who is the hardest person in the room to fool and the one who does the most without ever saying so. She teaches Edie the farm and never softens the lesson. Theirs is the series' quietest, truest bond: not a replacement for the mother Edie left in London, but room in a heart for a second kind of love.
