Summary

1912 in The Yorkshire Dales and Alice Bentham and her brother Will have lost their mother to cancer. Money is scarce and pride doesn't pay the doctor or put food on the table. Alice gets work at Whernside Manor looking after Lord Frankland's fragile sister Miss Nancy. Meanwhile Will and his best friend Jack begin working for the Lord of the Manor at the marble mill.

But their purpose there is not an entirely honest one. For a while everything runs smoothly, but corruption, attempted murder and misplaced love are just waiting in the wings. Nothing is as it seems and before they know it, Alice and Will's lives are entwined with that of the Frankland's and nothing will ever be the same again.

Excellent listening

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, it held my attention all the way through.
I would recommend this book to my daughter as she is blind and enjoys audiobooks.

For the sake of her Family

Liked all of it - it kept my concentration and was clearly narrated lots of twists and turns
