About the Author
Caroline Sandon lives with her family at Burnt Norton in Gloucestershire, a scene of tragedy that inspired T.S. Eliot's famous quartets. When she isn't writing, she works for her own interior design company. This is her first novel.
Review
'An authentic portrayal of 18th century aristocratic life turned into a pacey read. Could it be the next Downton Abbey?' Country Life. 'In this intriguing historical novel, one can make Downton Abbey comparisons but there is a more democratic, humanistic imagination at work here ... a novel about a collision of power, social class and authority in 18th-century England' The Lady. 'Terrific! Debut author Caroline Sandon, who lives at Burnt Norton in Gloucestershire, buried herself in the family archives and wrapped the truth inside this pacey historical novel. Bravo!' Daily Mail. 'A powerful story, beautifully told, of love and betrayal, greed and tragedy, which is all the more intriguing because it is rooted in truth' Julian Fellowes. 'Enough plot twists and racy story lines to make it the new Downton Abbey' Mail on Sunday.
