Synopsis

Vintage Cadell! With her unsurpassed ability to weave together romance, suspense and a cast of unforgettable characters. Elizabeth Cadell has, in this her newest novel gently spun her most heartwarming story to date. The book opens with a most uncomfortable reunion of two sisters – each in their late twenties and happily unmarried, each leading very independent but totally opposite lives. Jess Seton, a woman of impulse and impatient nature, besieged by men in fashionable London: Laura Seton, easygoing and charmingly old-fashioned, enjoying the leisurely pace and pastoral delight of the rural country town she has chosen as home. Together, Jess and Laura are compelled to meet a new and unexpected challenge, protecting the reputation of their widowed father the exasperating and endearing Claude Seton, a free spirit who has suddenly gotten himself into trouble in the art world. As he veers from ‘the straight and narrow’ his daughters find themselves on new paths – leading each one to the startling revelation that she is, indeed, the marrying kind.
