Summary

When governess Anna Arbuthnot arrives at Ridley Hall, she finds a house in deep mourning. Lyndon Wilder, oldest and most beloved son of Lord and Lady Charles has been killed in the Napoleonic Wars, leaving behind him a now orphaned daughter, Lottie, and other undiscovered troubles. Anna finds it easy to establish a bond with her young charge, but other relationships in the house begin to strain under the weight of Lyndon's absence. When Thomas Wilder, the younger son and new heir, returns from war, he finds his family in chaos and Lyndon's legacy threatening Ridley Hall's future.

As executor of his brother's will and guardian of his daughter, Thomas is forced to leave the military life he loves, and is confined to the faltering estate of his childhood. It is only with Anna's help that Thomas can save Ridley, and most crucially, protect his parents from the truth about Lyndon Wilder....

Just wonderful

I can't remember when I have enjoyed a book so very much. No fireworks, no drama - just a beautifully told story of ordinary people against the distant but present Napoleonic war. The narrator does it full justice.

Jane Austin fans will love this

I’m a huge JA fan so this author had big boots to fill, which she did so well. I couldn’t put it down. Funny, observed, complex to end. I thoroughly recommend

Lovely story

Beautifully written, authentic to the period. I longed and longed for Thomas to tell his exasperating mother the truth about her beloved son, and cringed every time she put the worst possible slant on his actions and was so cruelly unfair to him. He had far more honour and patience than seems humanly possible. Anna was a very sympathetic character and the children were delightful. I do hope there are more books in the same vein from this author. Highly recommend
