A Sensible Life

Flora Trevelyan is a ten-year-old misfit, despised by her selfish and

indolent parents, and left to wander the streets of a small French town

whilst her parents prepare to depart for life in colonial India. There she

befriends the locals, acquires an extensive vocabulary of French foul

language and encounters the privileged lifestyle of the elegant middle-class

British families holidaying in 1920s France. Introduced for the first time

to kindly, civilised and, above all caring people, Flora falls helplessly

and hopelessly in love with not one but three young men.

Over the next forty years Flora will grow from an awkward schoolgirl into a

stunning beauty and explore, consummate and finally resolve each of these

affairs.
