When a family is forced to leave its beloved home, the sense of injustice never dies…
The Coles have lived in Middlemere for half a century. When, in 1942, the family is threatened with eviction, they flee the house. Eight-year-old Romy sees her father shot dead.

She schemes to restore the family fortunes, to rescue her mother from drudgery and to protect her brother, Jem, a charming scoundrel who is always in trouble. Most of all, she longs to escape the poverty and narrowness of her surroundings. A chance meeting with Mirabel Plummer, owner of the exclusive London hotel, the Trelawney, is about to change Romy’s life for ever…
A compelling novel of passion, revenge and redemption from the bestselling author of The Dark- Eyed Girls and Written on Glass.
