Excerpt from The Potter's House: A NovelWhen Gillian looked back upon it she saw that Deborah's adoration had been scarcely less slavish than that of Joan. She had been her bridesmaid, she was the first to greet her on her return from her honeymoon, regarding A lmer, the dispossessor, with a jealous dlslike that rst amused him and then provoked him to a half satirical endeavour to change it. The precise date of that change Gillian never knew. Deborah had left town, had gone to live in the country with her invalid father, had taken to gardening, and thus had a little disappeared from the horizon. Rumours of her engagement were circulated from time to time, and then as quickly denied. Photographs of her garden frequently found their way into illustrated journals or into those luxurious books on gardening which excite the envi ous admiration of the amateur.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
