Reseña del editor

The Merriott sisters are born into a comfortable middle-class life and their house, situated on the edge of Richmond Park, is full of fun and laughter. But then Letty, the fourth girl, arrives and tensions suddenly appear in the once happy home. For unbeknownst to the sisters, much depended on the new baby being born a boy – not least the happiness of their parents’ marriage. Letty has a beautiful face but a withered arm and while the girls and their mother can accept and love her as their own, her father’s resentment of her is tantamount to dislike. It is only when Aunt Rosabel, their mother’s great-aunt, arrives for Christmas that all their fortunes change. Within months the Merriotts find themselves living in a great house, Merrylands in Wiltshire, with the promise of everything they, but most of all their father, have ever wanted. Unfortunately, Aunt Rosabel is not what she seems and before long the family find themselves worse off than they have ever been.

Contraportada

Hope Merriott has always thought of herself as truly blessed; her three daughters, Melinda, Rose and Claire bring her much joy. But when Hope's fourth daughter Letty arrives, her birth coincides with the failure of her husband Alexander's newest business venture. And although Alexander's Great Aunt Rosabel offers to solve the family's financial worries by gifting Alexander her large, elegant house, Hatcombe, in Wiltshire, Hope is full of seemingly unreasonable foreboding. Overnight, the family moves from their cosy suburban life to the isolation of Wiltshire's rolling acres. All too soon, many of Hope's premonitions seem about to be realized when Jack Tomm, a neighbour, comes to call on her. Before long Jack and Hope fall passionately in love only to be faced with the ultimate tragedy. It is then that Melinda, Rose and Claire recognize that it is up to them to realize their very indvidual gifts, and that in so doing, they may well hold the key to bringing their adored mother back to them. Award-winning novelist Charlotte Bingham has dazzled readers with an array of spellbinding bestsellers, including the highly acclaimed To Hear A Nightingale, Debutantes, and Grand Affair. In this gloriously romantic novel, she presents an irresistible and heart-rending tale that once more demonstrates her unique storytelling gift.
