Stella, an anthropologist, has just retired after many years conducting research in distant primitive communities. She settles down in a small West Country (UK) village. How she finds her new environment compares with the communities in which she has lived before and the situation of a female anthropologist at work 'in the field' are just two of the themes the author develops in what I found to be a fascinating story.
