The first volume in a spellbinding new family saga,which bears comparison with the best of Rosamunde Pilcher or Elizabeth
Jane Howard.
In the first decade of the 20thC,life at Northrop Hall carries on much as it has done for centuries.Dowager Lady Arndale presides over the smooth running of the house,whilst her son Charles manages the vast estate and Nanny Stone rules the roost in the nursery.Diana Arndale,just sixteen and back from finishing-school in Paris,looks forward with excitement touched with trepidation to her coming-out
in London,as the protegee of her glamorous Aunt Selina.
It is a well-ordered,comfortable, predictable existence,in which master and servant each knows his place.But the storm
clouds are gathering over Europe,and with the outbreak of 'The War To End All Wars',
the world of the Arndales and their servants is turned upside down.Life will never be the same again,for any of them . . .
