Fortunately, Julia is succoured by efficient and attentive neighbours. There are, for instance, Nick and Dick, the twin sons of Lord and Lady Heriot, who live at Pau: there is also Bonne-court, climber, guide and hunter (who is not averse to conducting far more secret business). Above all Julia secures the companionship of the 'angelic Luzia', daughter of the Duke of Ericeira; who is among Ann Bridge's best creations.
The 'emergency' proves to be of a double nature - one of espionage as well as of domestic crisis, and the reader is firmly held in the grip of the intricate and exciting plot, in which a romantic theme is also interwoven.
Ann Bridge is a writer whose characters never fail to spring to life, and her understanding of peoples of many nations is allied with a strong, convincing narrative. The mood of her book is one of sunlight and happiness, in contrast to the squalor and disenchantment of so much modern fiction.
