It's an uneasy time in Europe - that time of the extended armed truce between the two world wars - and the trip collects a motley crew of people who will all end up at Loxley before too long. There's a German Count, who's a supporter of the burgeoning Nazi party, an artist who is showing a picture of Hettie's mother and his apprentice, who can be more than a little surly, but whom Hettie finds strangely attractive. Life isn't simple at Loxley either, with a group of romany providing complications for the estate workers whilst their tales of a Saxon king and queen enchant Hettie.
It's a good story with some of Wragg's trademark twist which you ''should'' have seen coming and a lot of her excellent character development. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Playing for Keeps by Sally Wragg]].
You could read this book as a stand -alone, but you will get more out of it if you've read [[Loxley by Sally Wragg|Loxley]] first. You might also enjoy [[The Darkest Hour by Barbara Erskine]] or [[The Girl in the Photograph by Kate Riordan]].
