In 1896, in a pilgrim church in the Alps, an abandoned baby girl is found by a cook and a housemaid. They take her home, and Annika grows up in the servants' quarters of a house belonging to three eccentric Viennese professors. She is happy there but dreams of the day when her real mother will come to find her.

And sure enough, one day a glamorous stranger arrives at the door. After years of guilt and searching, Annika's mother has come to claim her daughter, who is in fact a Prussian aristocrat and whose true home is a great castle. But at crumbling, spooky Spittal, Annika discovers that all is not as it seems in the lives of her new-found family.

Eva Ibbotson's hugely entertaining story is a timeless classic for readers young and old.

I had never heard of this book until now, as a mother, and wish I had read it in my childhood. The memorable characters and mysterious storyline kept me and my son and daughter (9 and 8) fascinated.

Eva ibbotson's books have been favorites of mine for years. unfortunately, the performance in this audio book rather killed it for me. the accents were inconsistent & there for distracting & the melody played in between each chapter was depressing

not recommended for pleasure
