"Eleven-year-old Anthea, grief-stricken since the unexplained disappearance of her parents on a sailing trip, comes to live with her aunt and uncle and cousin Flora, only to discover she cannot relate to the warm-hearted Wakefields or to the cheerful chaos of their large, run-down house.  Welcome and wanted though they try to make her feel, she longs to escape to a space of her own."
