Summary
A sweeping, multigenerational saga for fans of Downton Abbey, set around the stately home of Cavendon Hall as the roaring '20s change the family's fortunes forever.
It's 1926. One stately home's future lies with four very different young women.... On a summer weekend in 1926, the Ingham family gathers at Cavendon Hall, the great house in Yorkshire that has been their family home for centuries, summoned by the earl. With them are the Swanns, who have served the house for generations - and know all their secrets.
The estate is under threat: The aftermath of the Great War has left Cavendon facing ruin. Its heir is pushing for divorce so he can follow his heart. And the earl has a surprise of his own. Four young women from both sides of the house will be the ones to shape its future - Daphne, fighting to modernise her ancestral home; Cecily Swann, forging a path as a fashion designer in London; Deidre, the career girl; and Dulcie, the outspoken debutante. They will change the estate's future for good or ill as the roaring '20s burn towards the Great Depression. Nothing will ever be the same again....
Critic reviews
"A stately home, a dangerous secret and two families whose fates have been intertwined for generations...a gripping period piece set on the brink of the Great War. Exquisite escapism of the highest order." ( The Lady)
"A glorious family saga for Downton Abbey fans....This is Barbara Taylor Bradford in her element, full of drama, passion, romance and danger." (Sarah Broadhurst, lovereading.co.uk)

Jolly hockey sticks family drama
Entertaining and well-written but why must every woman be awe-inspiringly beautiful and every man dashing and handsome? Anna Bentinck is a wonderful narrator.

Every character is annoying
I don’t know how I managed to get to the end of this dribble. Every character is annoying. They are ALL the most beautiful woman someone has ever seen or the most handsome man. And the whole thing is a big cliché

Another Barbara Taylor Bradford Success Story
This is the second book in a series of four. If you like Downton Abbey you will love these books. Magnificently narrated by Anna Bentinck, she is one of the best narrators on Audible and brings each of the characters to life.

Lovely, gentle story
This is a gentle story that’s well narrated. My only criticism is that there are so many characters it is difficult to keep track of who is who.

Another great book.
Barbara Taylor Bradford has a way of getting you hooked on the characters she portrays in her books. This was yet another great example, the lives and loves of the family the strong women. Great narrator too, who brought the characters to life.
