When Ellen Jamieson breaks up with her long-standing boyfriend, she
plans to go travelling. But first she agrees to house-sit for her
parents, who are trying to find a buyer for their idyllic cottage
in the Cotswold village of Oddlode. The village is full of quaint
and eccentric characters, both blue-blooded and below the salt, and
Ellen is the subject of much speculation. Under the wing of Ophelia
('Touchy Pheely') Gently, an impoverished local sculptor, Ellen
goes to an Auction of Promises village fundraiser and wins a
mysterious lot of three wishes. These have been donated by Jasper
Belling, the incredibly gorgeous prodigal son of the local lord of
the manor. Falling in love with a notorious hell-raiser is the last
thing Ellen intended, and the convoluted scandals of the villagers
put many obstacles in the way of the young lovers. Several ancient
skeletons come rattling out of various cupboards before a
no-holds-barred, loved-up finale.
