School for Love |
Reissued, a great read about ordinary people caught up in the drama of Jerusalem in 1945. Waiting for passage to England the recently orphaned Felix Latimer arrives from Bagdad to board with the dreadful Miss Bohun, She is an Ever-Readie, supposed to offer charity and love, but she is completely avaricious, making life miserable for her boarders. Mrs. Ellis, a pregnant young widow, moves into the house and disrupts everything.
