Industry Reviews
"Rustling with mystery and old scandals...unhurried, easy and leafy with pleasant sentiment. Great hammock reading."
Skenazy

Just before The Great War (WWI), Esther Aumery and Daniel Godwains live at Lady Green, Daniel as son of the grounds' keeper and Esther in gentile poverty in the manor. The startling discovery of an abandoned girl wrapped in a ragged blanket touches their lives with evil. The girl disappears, but she's not forgotten them nor her need to take control of their happiness. After years Daniel and Esther discover idealistic love and plan to marry. Dark events, all mysteriously linked to the same woman, the servant girl Clairy, prevent their happiness. Daniel's father is crippled in an accident, Esther's father commits suicide and their suffering is only beginning. British author Anna Gilbert, winner of the Catherine Cookson award, creates a detailed tale of innocence sacrificed to emotional need. She writes a leisurely Gothic stroll through a sunny day into the dark, threatening tangle of love unfulfilled. Her story explores the effects of selfish needs blindly pursued and of betrayal, but also acknowledges the victories of unselfishness, kindness and especially of love.
