Grace is governess to an Anglo-German family. In 1929 her employer leaves her German husband in Berlin, uprooting the family to a Northamptonshire village. As Grace gets to understand village life, she also comes to experience her sexual awakening as a new war is cast over their rural existence.

On the Way to the Wedding

Jo Riddett

Western democracies are "open societies" in which neither the state nor religion try to achieve a monopoly of power or the exclusive claim on people's hearts. In between the state and the family are countless other institutions, from trade unions to stamp collecting clubs, from student organizations to churches and protest movements. This is the civil society. Before the fall of communism in 1989, all this was prescribed. The state (the Communist Party) controlled everything. In the Middle East (Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia especially), this remains the case. In Eastern Europe there is a burgeoning civil society. In fundamentalist Islamic society there is none. Why not? This book tries to find out why.
