Fans of Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden and TV's Downton
Abbey will love this sweeping New York Times bestselling historical
novel of love and loss.
The start of an affair, the end of an era...
It's the spring of 1938 and no longer safe to be a Jew in Vienna.
Nineteen-year-old Elise Landau is forced to leave her glittering life of
parties and champagne to become a parlor maid in England. She arrives at
Tyneford, the great house on the bay, where servants polish silver and
serve drinks on the lawn. But war is coming, and the world is changing.
When the master of Tyneford's young son, Kit, returns home, he and Elise
strike up an unlikely friendship that will transform Tyneford--and
Elise--forever.
