Om denne e-bog
“Believable characters and a tale rife with shocking scandals make for a chilling mystery” in this family saga from an international bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
Rebecca Bennett, thirty-one, financially strapped and reeling from a disastrous love affair, has just taken on the biggest project of her career: writing the biography of Dame Tilda Franklin, considered England's angel to needy children.
Mining the past of this distinguished child welfare activist, Rebecca is amazed to discover a history riddled with the passion and pain of mysterious kin and unpredictable love. Delving further into Dame Tilda's life, Rebecca finds parallels with her own experience and begins to regard this woman as a kindred spirit. Soon a romance blossoms between Rebecca and Tilda's grandson, Patrick, and she is drawn even closer to the family. Yet, just as their relationship begins to grow, Rebecca uncovers a family secret that threatens to destroy her newfound love.
Set against the stark beauty of the Fen country and peopled with memorable characters, Some Old Lover's Ghost is an addictive novel of tragedy, recovery, healing, and love that will raise you up and touch your heart.
“Readers of Rosamunde Pilcher and Angela Thirkell should enjoy this very entertaining novel.” —Library Journal
“A fulfilling, enriching story.” —Booklist
“Casts an inviting spell, seducing the reader.” —Kirkus Reviews
