From the Publisher:
'Demonstrates a wry talent' Guardian
'A true writer of fiction...A writer whose every book has been a pleasure' Scotsman

At the moment that Colonel Browne is standing in the shallow end of the swimming pool of the Hotel Alpenrose, preparing for his late afternoon dip, his daughter Charlotte, carrying a suitcase, is getting out of her car back in England, preparing to rob the ancestral home. It is not just another day: it is the cuilmination of hundreds of days, hundreds of disappointments and misunderstandings, and thousands of very small lies...

'Rose Tremain goes from strength to strength. The Colonel's Daughter is a winner...a riveting and satisfying read' New Statesman

'Dialogue and off-beat humour are spot on' Daily Telegraph
