Book
Daniel MacGregor turns his matchmaking attention to three of his granddaughters, convinced that each can be nudged towards a suitable partner whether she wants his help or not. Laura, Gwendolyn and Julia have established lives of their own, but their grandfather’s interference repeatedly places romance and family expectation in the same path.
The three linked stories follow different couples while keeping the MacGregor family at the centre. Daniel schemes, observes and occasionally overreaches, while the women resist being treated as pieces in a family plan. Their eventual relationships develop through work, friendship and attraction rather than through Daniel’s certainty that he knows what is best, giving the collection a comic tension between individual choice and an affectionate but formidable patriarch.
