Women's Fiction Historical
From the acclaimed author of The Last Summer, a
captivating and moving story of the unlikely relationship
between a lady and her maid on the eve of World War I.
As I watched him—his long legs striding
the narrow path through the heather, his golden hair
catching the sun—I had a hideous feeling in the pit of my
stomach. For it seemed as though he was already marching
away from me.
In 1914, despite the clouds
of war threatening Europe, Pearl Gibson’s future is bright.
She has secured a position as a lady’s maid to a wealthy
Northumberland aristocrat, a job that will win her not only
respect but an opportunity to travel and live in luxury. Her
new life at Lady Ottoline Campbell’s Scottish summer estate
is a whirlwind of intrigue and glamour, scandals and
confidences—and surprisingly, a strange but intimate
friendship with her employer.
But when
violence erupts in Europe, Pearl and Ottoline’s world is
irrevocably changed. As the men in their lives are called to
the front lines, leaving them behind to anxiously brace for
bad news, Pearl realizes she must share one final secret
with her mistress—a secret that will bind them together
forever...
