China Court begins with Mrs. Quin on her death bed. She knows all 5 generations of her family that lived in England at a family home called China Court. the story has nothing to do with China or royalty, but instead is connected to the nearby China Clay works that were the source of the family's fortune. Godden weaves faith into her stories without sounding moralistic. .
