Grace, and her adorable 3 boys, Andrew, Hector and (almost) the whole cast from previous novels had me gulping this one down.

One of the first people we meet on the path of her new life is Andrew who lives in the Servants Quarters.Although this book can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone you do cross paths with many of the people from the previous books and it definitely would enrich your reading experience to have enjoyed the previous novels – in my opinion anyway! She was brought up by her grandfather Marley following the death of her mother and as she grows into her teen years, clashes with him which in turn sees her leaving home and Scotland.
