n nEverything thats happening to us--yes, everything--is to be regarded as a lark. See? This is my last word. This. Is. Going. To. Be. A. Lark.n nIts 1919, and Jane Quested and her cousin Lucilla are pulled suddenly from school by their guardian, who sets them up in a cottage on the fringes of London and informs them (by letter, since hes already fled) that hes gambled away their inheritance but is leaving them the house and 500 to carry on with. Lucilla is disheartened, but Jane is certain it will be a lark.n nWith the help of a handsome man, a classic example of a capable woman, and a war veteran with a green thumb, the two unflappable young women set up a market garden, which develops into a guest house, which develops into--well, youll have to read and see. Its true they have some difficulties as businesswomen, not to mention with housekeeping, but this is ultimately a tale fully living up to its title.n nForgotten for decades, despite Nesbits fame as a childrens author, her final novel for adults, first published in 1922, is a delight thats ripe for rediscovery. This new edition includes an introduction by Charlotte Moore.n nAn economy of phrase, and an unparalleled talent for evoking hot summer days in the English countryside.--Noel Cowardn
