Award-winner Eva Ibbotson's historical romance takes us from St Petersburg to rural England, stretching across families and class divides. A witty, elegant Cinderella story set in 1919.

'Unaplogetically romantic, extremely funny, wry, dry, witty - and hugely uplifting' Marian Keyes 'Sophisticated, brilliantly plotted and gloriously funny' Amanda Craig, Guardian 'Radiant and comforting' The TLS After revolution tears her country apart, young Russian countess Anna Grazinsky is forced to flee Saint Petersburg for rural England, where her now penniless family has no choice but to rely on the kindness of their only friend, Anna's old governess. Determined to help her family in any way possible, Anna arms herself with an out-of-date book on housekeeping and takes work as a servant at a crumbling mansion in the English countryside. 1919 sees Rupert, the handsome young Earl of Westerholme, return from war and become instantly mesmerized by Anna. As powerful attraction clashes with tradition, Anna finds concealing her true identity increasingly impossible. Award-winner Eva Ibbotson's The Secret Countess is a classic historical romance that stretches across countries, families and class divides.

Ibbotson Eva: The Secret Countess / B

The Secret Countess

The beautifully rendered fiction debut in the U.S. of preeminent WWII historian James Holland offers a unique angle on the conflict, chronicling the impact of the war on one British family and their small village The village of Alvesdon has been home to the Castells for generations. But the year is 1939, and peace and tranquility are about to be shattered once more by the storm clouds of war in Europe. As three generations of the family gather, they must face the prospect of their lives being transformed beyond recognition. When Britain declares war on Germany, the younger members of the family and farm workers are called up to fight. Those who remain must battle to keep the home fires burning and the farm afloat. The gentle certainties of rural life are replaced by the urgent clamor of war in the air, at sea, and on land, where events unfold with dizzying rapidity and unexpected consequences. Stretching from the glorious summer of 1939 to the Battle of Britain the following year, and with his unparalleled insight and storytelling about World War II, acclaimed historian James Holland's novel paints a compelling and immersive portrait of a family and a community whose way of life will be forever transformed by the horrors of war.
