The Ayrton Family: A romance box set of World War Two

'Finding a re-issued novel by D. E. Stevenson is like coming upon a Tiffany lamp in Woolworth’s. It is not ‘nostalgia’; it is the real thing.'— The New York Times Book Review

Amberwell and Summerhills tell the story of the Ayrton family: siblings raised by cool and distant parents, scattered afar in adulthood, but brought together by the oncoming Second World War.

Sweet and melancholy, the Ayrton family novels paint a vivid picture of one family torn apart by wider events in their world. See why D. E. Stevenson has amassed her own cult following with this moving collection.

D. E. Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, the daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter of civil engineers who designed many Scottish lighthouses. Her father was a first cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson. She was educated privately and travelled widely in France and Italy with her parents. She married a major in the Highland Light Infantry and moved with the regiment from place to place gaining valuable experience of life and people.
