Dusty Auswer is Judith Earle's story. In breathless, elegiac prose it tells of her solitary childhood spent dreaming in an enchanted house by the river, her awkward, intense experiences at Cambridge, her first, passionate friendship with a contemporary, her stunned disillusionment. Above all, the novel is about Judith's consuming relationship with the Fyfes, a family of cousins whose inroads into the dreams and preoccupations of her young womanhood make Dusty Answer subtle, heartbreaking, and a landmark in English fiction.
