The Camomile Lawn is a 1984 novel by Mary Wesley beginning with a family holiday in Cornwall in the last summer of peace before the Second World War. When the family is reunited for a funeral nearly fifty years later, it brings home to them how much the war acted as a catalyst for their emotional liberation.[1] The title refers to a fragrant camomile lawn stretching down to the cliffs in the garden of their aunt's house.
