Two sisters enter adulthood together, but their choices lead them toward profoundly different lives.
Janet Grandison is quiet, loyal, and accustomed to living in the shadow of her dazzling younger sister, Rosalind. While Rosalind moves confidently through fashionable society, attracting admiration without surrendering her independence, Janet longs for love, security, and a home of her own. When marriage offers Janet the life she has imagined, she discovers that devotion cannot protect her from disappointment, jealousy, or the demands of family.
Against the changing social world of twentieth-century England, Hugh Walpole traces the sisters' contrasting paths through courtship, marriage, motherhood, ambition, and loss. Rich in psychological observation, Janet and Rosalind Grandison is an intimate family drama about the competing claims of love and freedom-and the quiet consequences of choosing one life over another. Walpole described the novel as the story of Janet, her marriage, and her sister; it was originally published in 1928 under the title Wintersmoon.
