Well they would if they didn’t have to contend with his sisters.Īpril, the only one to have married, is now widowed, and in her mind that places her way above her siblings. He’s an aesthete and a dreamer, and he’s also bright enough to know that whoever rules the kitchen rules the house. One widow and two spinsters, all left a right of residence by darling Mummie, whose wishes none of her children would ever question. Well actually the whole house and estate is his, but he has to share it with his three elderly sisters. The kitchen still offers a welcome, but the cooks and kitchen maids who brought it to life have long since departed, and even the Aga is losing the will to go on. The house was once beautiful, but it has fallen upon hard times. It’s an invitation that I am very glad that I accepted. In Time After Time Molly Keane extends an invitation to an Irish country house.
