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 . . .
Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices, weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too!
So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,because of the lighter weight and value of this item,for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
