Mrs. Tim of the Regiment
Hester Christie records the everyday upheavals of life as the wife of British Army officer Tim Christie and mother of two lively children. A new posting requires the family to move, manage military society, stretch a limited budget, and endure separations with humor. Hester's diary also carries her into the Scottish Highlands, where friendship, romance, a missing child, and rumors of a ghost enliven the domestic chronicle. Wry and companionable, this novel suits readers who enjoy fictional diaries, army-family life, household comedy, and heroines who meet continual disruption without making themselves the center of the drama.
