In the English village of Fairacre, the retired schoolteachers Dolly Clare and Emily Davis enjoyed a remarkable friendship, as this moving volume reveals. Childhood playmates in Beech Green, they would remain close throughout their long lives, eventually sharing a cottage in their retirement. They felt grief when a village family was lost on the Titanic. They each experienced young love and then heartbreak when the First World War interrupted both of their romances. The triumphs and tragedies of their days are depicted with all the humor, heartbreak, and human warmth for which Miss Read is known, providing a sensitive portrait of life in the country.

The story follows Miss Clare through the war to end all wars and changes from gas to electric, horse to car, kite to rocket science. These were part and parcel of Miss Clare's existence and none of it challenged her equanimity.
The second story chronicles the death of octogenarian Emily Davis. As the news diffuses to many people who remember Miss Emily Davis their fond memories of how this stalwart school teacher touched and improved their lives, are shared. If the reader can ever seeing him or herself as leaving such footsteps in the sand they blessed indeed. Emily was Miss Clare's lifelong friend and fellow teacher. There are many parallels in these two lives, part of which is the same struggles of losing the loves of their lives, teaching in small country schools and the ardent love of nature in the country and all it has to offer.
