1902-1911 An age of innocence and hope. Before the storm clouds
roll over Europe. As Paul Craddock recovers from his Boer War
injuries, he starts to plan a new life. As soon as he is able he
invests all he has in a remote but beautiful estate in Devon,
determined to make something wonderful of the place and to be at
the heart of what is most real and most important. Then he meets
Grace, beautiful and passionate, and mistress of the land he has so
quickly grown to love. They are equals in determination, honour and
vision but their attraction for each other is matched by their
conflicting hopes and ambitions. As Paul gains knowledge,
contentment and stature in Shallowford it is at the price of
heartbreak, disappointments and bittersweet lessons learned. 'Mr
Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming' - Evening
Standard 'A born storyteller' - Sunday Mirror 'Highly recommended.
Combines tension with a splendid sense of atmosphere and vivid
characterisation. An excellent read' - Sunday Express
