More DescriptionInterior decorator Matilda Woods is shocked to run into the ex love of her life, Bart Stanning, at a smart equestrian event in Cornwall. She hasn't seen him for seven years, since he turned his back on her and their life together in Hong Kong. Bart is a wealthy but domestically impractical businessman, and he puts to Mattie a business proposal she finds hard to resist: her help with renovating a dilapidated Georgian house, the mysterious, but lovely Perryn Court. Despite her misgivings, Mattie accepts, but her acceptance brings heartache and unforeseen problems.Mattie spends the summer in Cornwall, and is entranced by Perryn Court, and with a little orphaned child, Rosie. A poignant discovery in the attic, unveils a long forgotten love story from World War 1. When Rosie disappears just before Christmas, Mattie plays a pivotal part in the drama which throws Matilda and Bart together in a way neither could have predicted. Memories they had buried in the past slowly begin to resurface, and shake their worlds apart. As the drama unfolds, we see flashbacks of their life in glamorous Hong Kong, and an insight into the tempestuous but devoted life they could have had. But is happiness really out of reach? Or can they find it again?Set mainly in the glorious Cornish countryside, this is a gentle tale of a love once lost, and of a happiness regained.'Highly recommend this wonderful, wonderful book to everyone.'
