A sweeping family saga from the grand homes of Yorkshire and London in the Edwardian era to the heartbreak of a French nursing station during World War I and the glamour of American high society in the 1920s.

As Lally blossoms into a young woman the love and loyalty she feels towards her adoptive family bring her both happiness and heartache. Over time it is Lallys strength and devotion which hold the Pollock family together: her dashing brother Jon; her selfish and self-destructive sister Margaret; and fragile Alice who must been protected from herself. And the familys fortunes become entwined with those of another foundling  the mysterious self-made businessman Brock Weymouth. Lally discovers to her cost that sometimes the most difficult promises to keep are to those we love. The latest historical blockbuster from the bestselling author of The Property of a Gentleman and The Summer of the Spanish Woman. An enjoyable page-turner that you wont be able to put down. Perfect for fans of Barbara Taylor Bradford Danielle Steel and Downton Abbey.
