A peek at lives of snobbery
Joanna Drayton, child of privilege, adores her governess, Miss Cathcart. Life on the Drayton ancestral Welsh estate is not, however, the conventional existence that it seems. Her parents, Henry and Barbara Drayton, are selfish, preoccupied with their own interests and totally uninterested in Joanna and her beloved 18-year-old brother, James.

When the elder Draytons discover that Miss Cathcart and James are having an affair, their reaction is predictable. They dismiss her and Joanna, who knows nothing about all this, is packed off to boarding school. James disappears.

Bewildered and frightened, trying to understand her parents, Joanna searches for her brother. The quest yields answers to questions she never thought to ask.

Louisa Hawkins is the pen name of an American who writes authoritatively about country life among the upper-class English. The original Louisa, an Englishwoman who lived 3 centuries ago, was the author's great-grandmother.

CHASING SHADOWS is a glimpse into useless lives of self-indulgence but that glimpse is romantic, original and entertaining.
