Synopsis

After the Colonel dies it is his daughter, Loveday, who inherits the house and all of its problems, including dry rot.^[3] Bewitched by the magic of Nancherrow, Loveday fights to keep the estate going so that, in time, her young son Nat may inherit same, while dealing with the reappearance of her one true love Gus and her failing marriage to Walter.
