Book Overview

Love, Loss, and Love Again...

Charlotte Dean enjoys nothing more than the solitude of her London flat and the monotonous days of her work at a travel bookshop. But when her younger sister unceremoniously bursts into her quiet life one afternoon, Charlotte's world turns topsy-turvy.

Beloved author D.E. Stevenson captures the intricacies of post-World War I England with a light, comic touch that perfectly embodies the spirit of the time. Alternatively heartbreaking and witty, The Young Clementina is a touch tale of love, loss, and redemption through friendship.

The Young Clementina is another heartwarming tale from D.E. Stevenson, beloved author of Miss Buncle's Book

Readers love The Young Clementina:

"Immensely enjoyable. As usual when I finish a novel by D.E. Stevenson, I cannot wipe the happy contented smile off my face."

"A heartwarming story of love, lost and found...Lots of tears and happiness."

Thwarted love

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago

When Clare's all-but-fiance returns from WWI totally cynical and nasty, she settles into spinsterhood, poverty, and loneliness. But after his disappearance she returns to the country to raise his daughter, and eventually comes to understand the deception that destroyed her lover. An unusually dark novel for Stevenson, it is extremely enjoyable and gripping. Written and set a bit earlier than most of books, it's interesting to see her show some poverty instead of all of the upper class British nobs with servants.
