520    "For more than 700 years, the vast, rambling Trelawney 
       Castle in Cornwall--turrets, follies, a room for every day
       of the year, four miles of corridors and 500,000 acres--
       was the magnificent and grand "three dimensional calling 
       card" of the Earls of Trelawney. By 2008, it is in a 
       complete state of ruin due to the dulled ambition and the 
       financial ineptitude of the twenty-four earls, two world 
       wars, the Wall Street crash, and inheritance taxes. Still:
       the heir to all of it, Kitto, his wife Jane, their three 
       children, their dog, Kitto's ancient parents, and his aunt
       Tuffy Scott, an entomologist who studies fleas, all manage
       to live there and keep it going. Three women dominate the 
       story: Jane; Kitto's sister, the spinster, Blaze, who left
       Trelawney and made a killing in finance in London, and the
       wildly beautiful, seductive, and long-ago banished 
       Anastasia whose 19 year old daughter, Ayesha-- a complete 
       replica of her mother--arrives unannounced at Trelawney. 
       When Ayesha marries very well and buys the house to avenge
       her mother's memory, she makes Blaze's plan to save 
       Trelawney completely unnecessary. But both Blaze and Jane 
       are about to discover that the house itself is really only
       a very small part of what keeps the family together"--
