“"This page-turning, multigenerational sudser by best-selling Riley ( The Storm Sister , 2016) will appeal to fans of Barbara Taylor Bradford and Penny Vincenzi." -- Booklist”

Harry then wrote the books, and they are now being published internationally.Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in England, in 2015 she fulfilled her dream of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were written.Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on June 11th 2021, surrounded by her family.

Back Cover

Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas, at the invitation of her old friend David Marchmont, she has no recollection of her past association with it - the result of a dreadful accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods, and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried there. With David's help, Greta embarks on a quest to rediscover her lost memories, and begins to piece together the fragments of not only her own story, but also that of her daughter, Cheska, the tragic victim of circumstances beyond her control. And, most definitely, not the angel she appeared to be . . .A story of love and loss from bestselling author Lucinda Riley - first published under the name Lucinda Edmonds, now extensively rewritten
