Summer, 1914.

Change is coming as swiftly as the seasons themselves. And the catalyst is the arrival of Aunt Tilly . . .

Preparations for the wedding of the Rector’s eldest daughter, Isobel Lilley, are well underway. The Rectory larders are full to the brim. The bridesmaids’ dresses fitted and pressed. The bridal gown allotted a room of its own. The only thing missing is Aunt Tilly.

But little does the Lilley family know, the arrival of Aunt Tilly will spark a chain of events that threatens to tear the village of Ashden apart.

When the dark clouds of war reach Ashden, Isobel and her sisters face daunting personal and social changes. Women of all classes are called upon to rise to the challenges of war and the Lilley family find themselves facing a new world that brings both tragedy and newfound freedom.

The whole village comes together in the face of adversity, but Aunt Tilly takes it one step too far, putting the stability of the Rectory in jeopardy.

Can the Lilley family survive Aunt Tilly’s visit and the outbreak of war?

This captivating quartet of historical sagas set during the First World War are perfect for fans of Sheila Riley, Pam Howes, Lizzie Lane, Tania Crosse, Dilly Court, Dinah Jeffries, Suzanne Goldring, Bill Kitson and lovers of Downton Abbey and The Forsyte Saga.

From the Publisher

I’m Amy Myers and I’ve been happily writing crime and historical fiction for a long time, thanks to you, my readers.

When I began, I seemed to be writing for a great big empty, silent space. Then, one day, when I was miserably curled up with lack of confidence at a conference, a lady in a wheelchair came up to me and thanked me for my novels. That did the trick for me, and ever since then, I think of you all as I scribble away. (And yes, I do begin new novels with pen, ink and biro.)

Thank you.
