Publisher's Synopsis
The wealthy and those who serve them
Society norms and those who break them
Family traditions and those who flaunt them
Denisthorn Hall, an ancient stately home in Gloucestershire, is home to Lord and Lady Croukerne and their children. Intrigue, drama and even death assail the stout doors of the home, creep upstairs where the family live their glittering lives, and downstairs to where the servants endure very different, but equally eventful days. Follow Lady Athena as she battles her way through changing fashions, and Lady Geraldine whose only desire is to ride a horse 'like a man'. Watch them as their lives are planned for them; marriages considered, dowries calculated. Grieve with them as the hand of death steals away those they love the most. Laugh with them when irrepressible humour saves more than one situation. If you enjoy television series that vividly bring back Victorian times and make you wish you lived in another century, this is a series for you. Book One will not be nearly enough. Experience life in a stately home in Gloucestershire with all the changes, mishaps, joys and interactions.
