Christmastime, 1958, Toronto, Canada: A young boy and his beautiful older sister are benightedly sent by their parents back to England to live in a tiny house, home of their paternal grandparents and dozens of cousins and uncles and aunts: a cramped fiefdom controlled, dominated and ruled over by one of contemporary fiction's great besieged despots: their penniless grandmother, Nan Hester.The boy sleeps at the foot of his three uncles' bed; he and his sister are fed crusts of bread at dinnertime on the floor beneath the dining room table; and they attend a school whose headmistress despises "Americans" and who wields her specifically selected beechwood cane like a whip. Incredibly, the boy and his sister endure. They challenge, surmount and eventually prevail, aided of course by deft and provident angels: their guardian Uncle John, their sweet maternal grandparents, and, eventually, their beatific and beautiful father, who at their most horrific moment rescues them and gathers them home.
