Twelve-year-old Harp Delaney is an unusual child, quiet and intelligent far beyond her years. She would rather spend her days in the library of the grand Georgian house that she sees as her home than playing on the streets with other children. Her mother, Rose, is the reserved and ladylike housekeeper at the Cliff House. The local women envy her grace and poise while the men admire her beauty. She behaves not as a servant should, but as someone who belongs at the ancestral home of eccentric loner Henry Devereaux.

Anne Dover has yet another marvellous performance. I found the start to be a little hard to believe. But once the story unfolded I was hooked. I was really sorry when it had finished. I hope there isn't too long to wait for a 3rd book as I want to know what happens with all the characters.

Another heartwarming novel from Katie Flynn. But I feel this novel isn’t over? Another episode please! You can’t leave it there.
And I have to say Anne Dover narrated this book to perfection yet again! The only lady who knows how! Thank you.
