The Good Comrade

Working as a housekeeper in the Netherlands, Julia Polkington schemes to repay a debt of her father's by stealing a bulb of the rare, precious blue daffodil. Instead, she gets caught up in a scandal that threatens not only her respectable name but also her ability to repay her debt of honour. Julia's bravery, intelligence and humour charm the reader into willing her to succeed in her sometimes dubious plots and adventures. This edition includes a critical introduction by Kate Macdonald.
