I loved the characters- the ones who worked in the castle and the ones above stairs. I could picture the coast through the windows and was desperate to know how this would end.

A real family saga with a few surprises along the way. I loved her writing style and I'm now keen to read more.

This is the first book I’ve read by Nadine Dorries, who is more well known as a politician, so I didn’t know quite what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how well written this beautiful story is.

I was drawn into the story from the very first page as it took me on a rollercoaster ride of a journey that had me enthralled throughout.

This may have been the first book I’ve read by Nadine Dorries, but it definitely won’t be my last. Just goes to show that you can’t always judge a book by the personal opinion you have of the author or their politics.

A lovely, heartwarming read that I would recommend.
