Synopsis

When 17-year-old Marie Sinclair travelled to Strathlinn in Scotland in 1920 to visit her brother and his new family, all she was looking for is rest and recuperation after the death of Lady Hanley, for whom she had been caring for over the past 18 months. But when her pregnant sister-in-law is rushed to hospital, Marie is forced to take on a far greater role in the lives of her Scottish family. And who is Mark Blackford, the new, young Estate owner, who seems only interested in machines and who is struggling under the new responsibilities of running the estate and gathering rent from tenants who are not always inclined to pay? Meeting him on the train to Strathlinn, Marie's life becomes entwined with his, as friend, help-meet, and, maybe, something more?

Reviews

This fictional family was my family by the end of book 4. This story was a perfect read. Lots of in-depth character development and as many twists and turns plus the added experience of being gently exposed to another time and the earlier moral expectations of that time and place. Just a fine read!!!......more

Goodreads review by Jenni

I liked this but the 'big reveal' was mentioned before it actually happened... It felt like a mistake, that's how clunky it was! I'm also getting worn out with all the repeating information delivered via dialogue.......more
