Growing up in her sleepy Cornish village, dreaming of being a writer, sixteen year old Lou has always wondered about the grand Cardew house which has stood empty for years. And when the owners arrive for the summer: a handsome, dashing brother and sister, Lou is quite swept off her feet and into a world of moonlit cocktail parties and glamour beyond her wildest dreams. But, as she grows closer to the Cardews, is she abandoning her own ambitions... and is there something darker lurking at the heart of the Cardew family?

A lovely, indulgent read. Set in 1929, it follows Lou, a girl who has lived a small life in a small village, dreaming of the glittering world of London. When the grand Cardew house, abandoned for years, is suddenly occupied with the sophisticated and charming Cardew siblings, Lou finds her opportunity to live a life bigger than she imagined...A wonderful book, I read it entirely with a smile. - Madeleine (QBD)
