Description:
Pages are clear and readable, but they have what appears to be foxing on the fore page ends and on the front and rear end papers; moderate to heavy wear on the dust jacket (tears, creases, spots, etc.) but it is still holding the book. Welcome is the name of the sugar plantation which had been the property of the Probyo family for several generations. Paul Probyn, the owner at the time the story is written, is also the guardian of his younger brother and sister, Nicky and Tessa. In due course he becomes engaged to Karen Adais, whose father owns the adjacent property. The arrival of Nicky, a gay and careless youth fresh from Oxford, tests the friendship of the two brothers to its utmost limit. Jamaica (where Miss Clarke has been living after her adventures as an evacuee from Italy and France in 1940) has provided the writer with a fresh scene for her well-known descriptive powers.
