O. Douglas Livres
Anna Masterton Buchan, sœur cadette de l'homme d'État et romancier prolifique John Buchan, a créé une fiction domestique humoristique centrée sur la vie des familles écossaises. Ses œuvres offrent une perspective chaleureuse sur leurs joies et leurs défis quotidiens, caractérisées par un style distinctif qui a résonné auprès des lecteurs par son humour doux et sa perspicacité sur la nature humaine. Commençant sa carrière d'écrivain en 1911, elle a publié douze romans et un mémoire personnel de son frère, consolidant ainsi davantage son héritage littéraire.

This book is a sequel to an earlier novel, The Proper Place, concerning an aristocratic Scottish family, the Rutherfurds, forced by circumstances to sell the family estate. Lady Jane has lost both of her sons in the recent Great War; the subsequent death of her husband and unexpected financial hardship prompts her one remaining child, a daughter, Nicole, to suggest their removal to a smaller establishment more within their new means. Accompanying them is Lady Jane's niece, Barbara, but she has married and is back at Rutherfurd Hall at the opening of Small Things, leaving Lady Jane and Nicole in their new home, Harbour House, close by the sea's edge in the fictional east coast town of Kirkmeikle.
