The Woodland Grave

Meer over het boek

In the dead of night two young women meet by chance on a hillside. Chris is the squire's daughter and Gerry a visitor to her village. Although Chris has lived all her life in the countryside and Gerry is a London sophisticate, they become close friends. They are taking a walk when Chris timidly enquires how long Gerry intends to stay in the village. In response, Gerry indicates a small wood a mile or two away. 'My lover is buried there, ' she announces. 'Soon it will be a year and a day since his death and I've come to stand by his grave.'
