When Janet Sandison returns to her Caribbean home from a holiday in Scotland she finds her husband wonderfully restored to his old self, full of hope for the future and no longer haunted by the illness that had shadowed their lives for several years. Although the change could be due to his recent promotion to Manager of the Paradise sugar mills, Janet sense that the main contribution to his recovery is the arrival on the island of a girl who is keeping house for a team of young social workers, who the islanders have nicknamed the "Teeth and Feet people." For Twice this is the daughter he has never had, but for Janet the relationship is more complicated. The girl has flown into Janet's house and Twice's heart, but seems somehow always ready to take wing again, like the swallows of Janet's beloved childhood home, Reachfar.
