The Marquis and Marquise de Castillon together with their young
son, Jean-Pierre, were forced to flee France for England when the
French Revolution broke out in 1789. Jean-Pierre was educated at
Eton and only returned to Paris when Napoleon came to power. It was
not long before he joined Napoleon's Army, survived the Retreat
from Moscow and was badly wounded at the Battle of Waterloo. Whilst
in hospital he became friends with Colonel Hubert Dawlish who was
in the next bed. Before they both underwent life threatening
operations, they made joint wills leaving everything to the other.
Jean-Pierre, now the Marquis, survived the operation and returned
to his ancestral Chateau to find it looted and in a terrible state
of repair. Another blow awaited him when the late Colonel Dawlish's
three children arrived as he was now their Guardian. He felt too
ill and depressed even to want to see them. The eldest, the
beautiful Marietta, was gifted with the powers of healing and herbs
and she enthusiastically set about not only bringing the Marquis
back to health, but to restoring the Chateau to its former glory.
She persuaded some soldiers to help her with the Chateau and
through her prayers made a stunning discovery that changed the
Marquis's fortunes. How she found love where she least expected it
and showed the Marquis that love and prayer can heal any wounds and
overcome all obstacles is told in this exciting and unusual book by
BARBARA CARTLAND. If you like Downton Abbey you will love Barbara
