Susan Armstrong is savouring a quiet evening at home with husband Jed, but her peace is fleeting. A call from Jed's irritating cousin results in a visit from young Amanda, whose ace pilot husband is missing (and none too sorely missed). There are complications with their neighbours, the embittered Larry Heriot and his spiteful sister Ruth, and with the formidable trio of Misses Pringle, the gossipy Furies of the village. Susan's brother Oliver and cheerful wife Peggy come in for difficulties as well. Of course, it all works out in the end, but not before some distressing confusion, grave misunderstandings, and rollicking adventures, permeated with eccentric and lovable characters and vivid Scottish landscapes. Molly Clavering was for many years the neighbour and friend of bestselling author D.E. Stevenson, and they may well have influenced one another's writing. First published in 1939 (under the pseudonym B. Mollett) and out of print for more than 80 years, Touch Not the Nettle reunites us with characters from the earlier Susan Settles Down (though they may be read in any order). This new edition includes an introduction by Elizabeth Crawford.… (mehr)

This book is a sequel to Susan Settles Down.

In this book, Susan and her husband give shelter to a distant relation, a young woman named Amanda whose aviator husband has just gone missing mid-flight. Amanda has been suffocating under her mother's interference, but she thrives with the change of scenery offered her by her Scottish relatives. Which underscores the fact that, in truth, she doesn't want her husband to come back.

This book was darker than I expected, especially with the neighbors that Amanda gets mixed up with. She finds herself strangely drawn to Larry Heriot, a rather morose hermit of a man with a dark secret in his past. And Amanda is persecuted by Larry's sister Ruth, who is a whole bunch of bad qualities rolled into one. It's not a relaxing read, and the ending is contrived. ( )
