L. P. Hartley's much-loved novel, the magnum opus of one of twentieth-century England's best writers, is a complex and spellbinding a comedy of upper-class manners; a study in the subtlest nuances of feeling; a poignant reckoning with the ironies of character and fate.

The hero and heroine are Eustace and Hilda. In the first book Eustace is around nine and his sister, Hilda, nearly four years older. They live in Anchorstone, a seaside resort. One day, they are playing on the beach when Eustace sees an anemone devouring a shrimp.
The three books gathered together as Eustace and Hilda explore a brother and sister’s lifelong relationship. Hilda, the older child, is both self-sacrificing and domineering, as puritanical as she is gorgeous; Eustace is a gentle, dreamy, pleasure-loving boy: the two siblings could hardly be more different, but they are also deeply devoted.
