July 1914, the eve of the First World War, an fourteen-year-old Alix Gregory is holidaying in France with the wealthy Lanchbury family. She is looking after two-year-old Charlie Lanchbury when he disappears during a gamily picnic and is never seen again.. Once a happy, carefree girl, Alix is blamed for the tragedy and cannot escape from the resulting disintegration of the family.
The war ends and Alix tries to pick u the threads of her life. Through her marriage and the birth of her son, Rory she finds happiness, and through her meeting with the brothers Derry and Jonathan Fox, she finds love. Yet, living in her ancient and beautiful home, Owlscote, she is haunted by the loss of her baby cousin. As the years pass, and as the world descends into the horrors of war once more, the question remains: Will Charlie Lanchbury ever be found?

I am wondering where I have the book from, since I registered it back in Germany. I can’t remember.
So I finished it. It is beautiful written and the characters in it are colourful alive. I was very interested in what happened, but it got less and less during the book, just too much going on for too long. But it was a good story and a book I have enjoyed.

Given to me by a dear friend.
The story sounds so sad. Good for a cold dreary day snuggled under a blanket.

One year later and I have finished this story. I enjoyed it, and I was really interested to see what happened to the little boy and the other characters, but it just went on too long. Spanning over almost 30 years, I think it would have been more enjoyable if it was only two-thirds as long.
