Publisher's summary

When governess Anna Arbuthnot arrives at Ridley Hall, she finds a house in deep mourning. Lyndon Wilder, oldest and most beloved son of Lord and Lady Charles has been killed in the Napoleonic Wars, leaving behind him a now orphaned daughter, Lottie and other undiscovered troubles. Anna finds it easy to establish a bond with her young charge, but other relationships in the house begin to strain under the weight of Lyndon's absence. When Thomas Wilder, the younger son and new heir, returns from war, he finds his family in chaos and Lyndon's legacy threatening Ridley Hall's future.

As executor of his brother's will and guardian of his daughter, Thomas is forced to leave the military life he loves, and is confined to the faltering estate of his childhood. It is only with Anna's help that Thomas can save Ridley, and most crucially, protect his parents from the truth about Lyndon Wilder...

Best story, so many well developed likable characters…

This is a keeper. I love everything about this story. The setting is Great Britain during early British /American revolutionary war time in which a family struggles with the loss of the “ all important” first son. The characters all come to life. There is romance, humor, realistic relationships among family and friends…a real story! No extremes, all cozy and interesting. It is so well written that you want it to be slow. I’m glad I took a chance on this book. The title intrigued me into giving it a try. The narrator was excellent…so many voices and great characterization of each. I hope there are more from this author!

Fabulous book and narration

The author provides a fascinating look into the Decency period in England with a focus on how the death of a soldier has profound consequences on his family. The humanity of each person is respected with all their limitations. There's lots of humor and amusing details. We get to see into the thoughts of several characters. Realistic without being grim. Great narrator too.

18 hours well spent

Not a thrill-a-minute and no eroticism if either of those are what you're after. But good characters, setting and narrative.
Best of all, at 18 hours, it postponed my search for another listenable book!
Really enjoyed it.

Stick with it

I guess you could say it's a romance, but that angle isn't at all in-your-face; moreover, the couple are likeable, rather than stereotypical. I'd call it more a work of historical fiction. Secondary characters are well done and varied. Biggest issue for me was the lengthy setup, focusing on details of soldiers fighting Napoleon in Spain. Once the story (in England) began I gained traction as a reader. Excellent audio narration!
