Jumble sale leftover.

Kept because I thought I would like to read it. If I haven't read it by now, I doubt I ever will, so it had better go off to find a more appreciative reader.

Picked up for Mum who has previously enjoyed a few books by Elizabeth Buchan.

Handing over to Mum while I am in Cornwall.

Received from Becky who is down this weekend, will start this book shortly.

Agnes Campion si thrity when she inherits Flagge House from her uncle. Together with its resident, querulous aunts, it feels more of a burden than an inheritance. As she struggles with its upkeep, she scarcely has the energy to cope with th attentions of two very different suitors.

Julian, a dangerously attractive property developer, makes a living out of everything agnes despises; is he in love with Agnes or her house? And stoical Andrew, fighting to prevent his organic farm from being wrenched away by a planning application, his own marriage failing, has designs on her too.

Then there's Kitty, Julian's long term mistress. Seemingly fragile, she is tough as nails and doesn't see why a passing infatuation should destroy a carefully balanced relationship she ha taken years to build. She won't give Julian up without a battle, facing her own demons in the process. slowly, surely, a love quartet is taking shape, in all forms of passion and expectation. But only two people will find happiness from it.

Agnes makes a programme about the mysterious woman who lived on the farm, and research lead her to wartime espionage.

The whole book did not pan out how I would have thought and was disappointed.
