About the Author:
Synopsis:
Dirk Bogarde received a knighthood in 1992.
He starred in more than 60 films, but recently has become equally famous for his writing: he is the author of seven volumes of autobiography, most recently A SHORT WALK FROM HARRODS and CLEARED FOR TAKE-OFF, and six novels, most recently A PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT. All are in Penguin. He lives in Chelsea,London.
The story of one upper-class family in Sussex, gathered together for the death of their well-loved nanny. Instead of blessing them all from her death bed she curses them. As the family wait for the funeral, underlying stories reaching back into a World War II scandal begin to emerge.
