Overview

'Times change, and sometimes for the better...' As the twentieth century draws to a close, Esme Reddaway knows that she must uncover the truth. A truth that began during the First World War, when Devlin Reddaway fell passionately in love with Esme's elder sister, Camilla, and promised to rebuild his ancestral home, Rosindell, for her. But the war changes everything, and Devlin returns to England to find that Camilla is engaged to someone else. Angry and vengeful, he marries Esme, who has been secretly in love with him for years. Esme tries to win Devlin's heart by reviving Rosindell's glamorous annual summer dance. But as the years pass, she fears that the estate has a malign influence on those who live there, and the revelation of a shocking secret on the night of the dance tears her life apart. Decades later, it is she who must lay the ghosts of Rosindell to rest. Spanning the last century, Esme's story is one of sibling rivalry, heartbreak, betrayal and, ultimately, forgiveness.
