Description:
When Sarah first saw Harlaston Hall, its grandeur unnerved her. How could this mansion have anything to do with her family, and in particular with her grandmother Charity? But as she became immersed in the story of the house, it became vital that she uncovered the truth. From the Back Cover Now was the time for him to leave. If he did not leave now, if he allowed her to catch sight of him, there would be no going back. She stood before the great stone horse, absorbed and unaware. She looked small and upright and brave. And easily hurt. He took in the slow sweep of her lashes as she traced the line of the horse's neck. The clarity of her profile. The warmth and tenderness of her mouth. All his careful reasoning collapsed about him. When Sarah first saw Harlaston Hall, its grandeur unnerved her. How could this great mansion have anything to do with her family, and in particular with her grandmother Charity? Reluctantly, Sarah had taken on the job of writing up the history of the hall, mainly so she could get away from London and the misery of her broken love affair. But as she became immersed in the poignant story of the house, and in particular of Robert, the last Lord Harlaston, it became vital that she uncovered the truth. From present-day London to the windswept Lincolnshire fens, from the battles of the Boer War to the rigid hierarchies of a small village in Edwardian times, this sweeping novel tells a breathtaking story of a family and its long-buried mysteries.
