Synopsis
A cantankerous, elegant old woman sits in her beautiful Somerset house while her family secretly plots to evict her. In the garden is Lady Pamela's last loyal retainer, out at grass is her one remaining racehorse, and in London is the man she should have married - still her dearest friend. Maeve Delaney, streetwise and outrageous, and sole applicant for the job of companion to Lady Pamela, bursts into the old house like a firework. As open warfare settles into an wary truce between the two women, Maeve sets her heart on bringing the great racehorse, Irish Dancer, out of retirement, and everything changes.

About the Author
Sarah Challis was born in Buckinghamshire and educated at St Paul's Girls' School and Homerton College, Cambridge. She has lived in California and Scotland but now lives in Dorset.
From Booklist
The ties between generations are at the heart of this romantic saga set outside London. At 84, Lady Pamela desperately wishes to remain in her home, but her calculating daughter-in-law wants to send her away so she can modernize the charming cottage. To the rescue comes 26-year-old Maeve Delaney, a companion whose headlong approach to life is just what Pamela needs to get her out of the doldrums. Maeve feels emotionally abandoned by her own parents, who divorced when she was 12, and Lady Pamela has always longed for a daughter to replace her Lizzie, who died much too young. Into the mix are thrown Maeve's best friend, Sophie, a single mother with twins; Matt, the handsome local vet who loves them both; Sam, Pamela's beau of over 50 years, whom she should have married; and Irish Dancer, the injured horse Pamela longs to bring back for one last race. Challis' second novel reads like a sexier Rosamunde Pilcher, packed with robust characters, romance for both young and old, and heart-tugging tragedy. Deborah Donovan
