Some sacrifices must never be revealed... In 1914, despite the
threat of war in Europe, Pearl Gibson's future is bright. She has
secured a desirable position as a lady's maid for Lady Ottoline
Campbell. Her new role sees her transported from a life of drudgery
to the Campbell's vast Scottish estate. Pearl is quickly drawn into
a whirlwind of intrigue, glamour and scandal, as she realises her
job requires her to become her lady's confidante as well as her
maid. In the confusing world of the upper classes it is Ottoline's
cousin, Ralph, who Pearl comes to rely on, trust - and love. But
when violence erupts in Europe, Pearl and Ottoline's world is
irrevocably changed. As the men in their lives are called to the
front line, shocking events unfold at home that both Pearl and
Ottoline vow never to reveal. They share a secret that will test
their loyalty to one another to breaking point, and will bind them
together forever... A captivating story of love and loss set on the
eve of the First World War, perfect for fans of Rachel Hore and
Penny Vincenzi. Praise for The Echo of Twilight 'An enchanting,
atmospheric work of historical fiction that is a rich blend of
Downton Abbey and Jane Eyre. The Echo of Twilight is a wonderful
novel to curl up with this winter' Booklist 'Kinghorn carefully
weaves a story of love and self-discovery... to tell this immersive
and historically sound coming-of-age tale' Publishers Weekly Praise
for Judith Kinghorn'A sumptuous absorbing tale of love in a time of
war' Rachel Hore 'An enchanting story of love and war, and the
years beyond' Penny Vincenzi 'An epic and enthralling love story
set against the backdrop of the Great War' Fanny Blake
