Thank you so much for the recommendation. I bought a Kindle copy of this book and read it in one day. It was just wonderful. I'd never heard of this author. The book reminded me in a way of the work of Barbara Pym (I'll put in a recommendation for Excellent Women and Quartet in Autumn). I need to seek out some of Kennedy's other novels.
