Threadbare Sisters: Tales of Basting Twill - Volume Seven

Threadbare Sisters

Barnabas and Delma Crabbe have four attractive and talented daughters. The oldest three, Solange, Cadence and Winnie, have put their plans for the future aside to help their mother keep the family fed and housed during the prolonged illness of their father. Their outlook brightens when three handsome men arrive in Basting Twill. Bridge Purfling, a world-renowned violinist who is recovering from injuries due to a road accident, is attracted to Solange's musical talent and her beauty. Dr. Erik van Zegen, a locum at the village medical clinic, is drawn to newly-qualified nurse, Winnie. Head chef at the Jacquard Arms, Horst Radish, clashes with fellow redhead, Cadence, but soon finds himself inextricably entangled with the gorgeous spitfire. It seems that teenaged Petula has the most sense of the Crabbe girls when it comes to romance and matters of the heart. She falls for schoolmate, Jimmy Rummage, but is determined to keep passion and all that nonsense on the back burner until she finishes her education.
