About this listen

A captivating family drama about sisters and long-held secrets spanning from the 1930s to the present day, perfect for fans of Downton Abbey.

Chalfont Hall, Dorset, 1936, and as the dressmaker puts the last pins in her dress, 13-year-old Kit is wondering why she has to go through the charade of seeing her sister, Lily, presented at Court. With her waves of auburn hair and her piercing green eyes, Kit knows that her sister's place on the social scene is guaranteed regardless of her dress, and as the door to a life of parties and eligible young men opens for Lily, Kit must make do with tiptoeing around the gallery of Chalfont, eavesdropping on the conversations of the grown-ups.

But the arrival one evening of a distinctly German visitor soon sets in motion a chain of events that none of the family could have anticipated. Years later the aftershock of events will be felt by a new generation....

An excellent novel

i loved this book. A beautiful story, very well narrated.
It tells the story of Kit, who wanted to make a difference in this world, and she did. We follow her through her child hood, and into woman hood. The choices she made, and how they impacted her relationships, especially with her daughter. How the secrets we keep, because of loyalty, can also be so destructive to our personal lives.
I highly recommend this book.
