The center book of the Eliot trilogy and my favorite. Typically the middle book of a trilogy is like the development section of a piece of music - an awful lot happening, but no real conclusion. This one is so much the strongest of the three that I have wondered if it was actually the first one written - the wiki says no. There were eight years between The Bird in the Tree, 1940, and Pilgrim's Inn, 1948, and yet another five before The Heart of the Family in 1953.
