Rose Beechworth is mistress of a charming country house - her own, left to her by her wealthy father. In the summer of 1914, she is not even looking for love. Alice Weatherly turns Rose´s world upside down. The loveable young heiress longs to kiss Captain Charlie Summers goodbye - she takes Rose to Liverpool´s Lime Street station and into the heart of Charlie´s brother Harry. Even though they are neighbours, they have never met, for Rose ignores the social round, while Harry´s time is taken up desperately attempting to keep his father´s ramshackle estate together. When he inherits Summer Place, a magnificent mansion with a proud history, he gladly lets it become a hospital for wounded soldiers. As the war takes its terrible toll and Charlie disappears into the fog of battle, Alice - the spoilt runaway heiress - becomes a heroine, while Rose finds herself running two great houses. It seems impossible that any of them can ever find happiness again. ´Her thousands of fans recognise the artistry of a true storyteller´ Lancashire Life
