Давно потерянное письмо приходит на почту, и Эди Бурчилл отправляется в поездку в замок Милдерхурст. Это великолепный, но обветшавший старый дом, где живет семейство старых дев Блит и куда 50 лет назад, во время Второй мировой войны, тринадцатилетней девочкой попала ее мать. Старшие сестры Блит - близняшки, и большую часть своей жизни они живут, заботясь о своей третьей младшей сестре Джунипер, которая совершенно изменилась с тех пор, как в 1941 году ее обольстил и бросил жених. |
