At the behest of her grandmother, Kate Herrick, a twenty-something war widow in 1947, returns to her childhood home in the idyllic English countryside. Kate is charged with picking up some family documents before Rose Cottage is sold, but she is astonished to find the papers missing from their hidden safe. As she looks into the mystery, Kate runs across childhood friends and neighbors, many of whom have theories about the break-in, the most disturbing of which involves the ghost of Kate's deceased mother and her gypsy lover being spotted in the cemetery. Kate's search for the truth (with the help of a handsome neighbor) lead her to a shocking secret from her past that will change her life forever. A sumptuous blend of gentle romance and light mystery set in a quaint English village, this latest novel from Mary Stewart is a cozy and satisfying read.
