Description - Our Dancing Days by Lucy English

A delightful portrait of an era. THE TIMES When Don, an aristocratic young Notting Hill bohemian, inherits a run-down mediaeval manor house in the depths of Suffolk, he takes Tessa, an artist, and her friend Dee-Dee with him. They form a commune of self-sufficiency and harmony that initially succeeds. Only when they build on this fantasy by introducing others - the mesmerising Jack, single mother Helena and her disturbed daughter - is the balance upset. Tensions emerge and friction builds until tragedy shatters their ideals forever. Looking back twenty years later, Tessa recalls with nostalgia the least sung of the Sixties revolutions - the Arcadian one, tearing up urban and suburban roots to return to the land.
