"Haunted by phantoms of the Second World War and the Holocaust, young Cressida lives in terror of George Harding, who, severely disfigured, has returned from the front to recover in his family's stately African home. When he plucks Cressida's beautiful mother and her family from financial ruin, establishing them in the old servants' quarters of his estate, Cressida is swept into a future inexorably bound to his." "In the new setting, she finds that she is, after all, indentured. She is conscripted to enliven George Harding's nephew, the hopelessly timid Edgar to make him "wild and daring." And she takes on this task with resentful fury, leading the boy astray and, in the process, learning to munipulate differences in power, class, background, and ambition." Only slowly does she come to understand that George Harding himself is watching her. And waiting.
