Aunt Clara
Published: 1952Synopsis:
Aunt Clara did what she could. It never seemed to be much. Her nieces and nephews were fond of her and took her for granted, her brothers and sisters criticised her and used her. None of them really thought about her at all.
It was only the strange charges laid on her by an old relative that threw her into a world of circuses, greyhound-racing and dubious house property, where, to the perplexity of her worldly-wise relatives and friends, she seemed to manage as well as other people, though not always in the ways they hoped.
Noe Streatfeild's new novel contains a variety of characters, abundance of incident both everyday and bizarre, and a charming love story. Over them all presides the shapeless but loveable figure of Aunt Clara, with her innocence undamaged and her will unbent by the assaults of fate and her fellow-men.
