"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there." So begins this classic novel of childhood, class and lost innocence, set in the scorching hot summer of 1900.
Shortly before his 13th birthday, Leo Colston goes to spend the summer holidays with a schoolfriend, on his family's country estate, Brandham Hall. There he becomes the go-between for Marian, his friend's older sister, and Ted - a tenant farmer.
