Reseña del editor:

This is the journal of Eugenie Vye: the prettiest debutante of the 1890 season, with hair she can sit on and a seventeen-inch waist – yet somehow three years later, still unmarried. Lord Vye’s daughter might be thought to want for nothing, but life isn’t easy on fifty guineas a year with a jealous stepmother watching one’s every move. Eugenie’s passionate nature and unerring ability to get hold of the wrong end of the stick land her in trouble as she follows her heart in pursuit of a husband. She hurtles from one near-disaster to another, rescued only by a sense of humour, unquenchable optimism and her dear American friend Julia – until finally discovering love was right under her nose all along.

Biografía del autor:

Jennie Walters was partly inspired to write the ‘Swallowcliffe Hall’ series by visits to beautiful old English country houses, including Kingston Lacey in Dorset, Belton House in Lincolnshire and Castle Howard in Yorkshire. As a teenager, she spent two years in a cliff-top boarding school with wood-panelled rooms, a huge marble staircase and one of the largest collections of stuffed birds in England. Much later, finding a silver housekeeper’s châtelaine when clearing out her father-in-law’s flat whetted her interest in Victorian servants and their masters and mistresses, and prompted her to create a fictional country house of her own. For a fascinating insight into the world of English country houses and the families and servants who live in them, visit Jennie’s website, packed with information, original photographs, extracts from servants’ letters, craft ideas and much more! www.jenniewalters.com
