| Summary |
Readers of Rosamunde Pilcher and Angela Thirkell should enjoy this very entertaining novel, a contemporary tale that intermingles flashbacks to 1930s and 1940s Britain. Thirty-one-year-old Rebecca Bennett is still recovering from a disastrous affair when she is asked to write the biography of Dame Tilda Franklin, a highly regarded social activist who has devoted her life to rescuing children from appalling situations. As Rebecca becomes increasingly involved in her subject's extraordinary life, her research into the sinister disappearance of Tilda's first love decades ago strains her new relationship with Tilda's grandson, Patrick. The author effortlessly blends moments of suspense with pathos and humor (including one hysterical scene that anyone who has ever wished to take revenge on an old flame will appreciate). The shift between Tilda's past and Rebecca's present is never confusing or annoying, and both lives are equally interesting. |
