Through the Postern Gate: A Romance in Seven Days

"Through the Postern Gate: A Romance in Seven Days" by Florence L. Barclay, is a sweet love story that happens in a single week, about a young man who is in love with his aunt. The novel shows us a world of love and dreams through their eyes, but brings up questions about how age can get in the way of relationships. We see the young man, called the Boy, tell his aunt, Miss Christobel Charteris, how much he cares for her while they are having tea together in a peaceful garden. He is very energetic and clearly wants to be more than friends, but Christobel is worried because of their age difference. Their talk is fun and brings back memories, but it also shows that there will be some challenges as they try to figure out if their love can work over the next seven days.
