Fall in love with beloved bestselling author Santa Montefiore’s epic tale of romance, secrets, family and friendship with this, the fifth novel in the beloved Deverill Chronicles.
This has to be my favourite of all the books so far, in fact, no disrespect to the full chronicles, but if I had only read this one I would have felt just as satisfied as reading the whole series! This fifth and final book pieced together a lot but you don’t need to know the back-story in the other books to full appreciate it.
The series itself has showcased, in a brilliant way, the connections between the living and departed. And ultimately I feel that was one of the strongest messages of this series and in particular this final book – appreciating the afterlife, remaining connected to it through love. It’s not a ghost story, or a horror, it’s a gentle exploration of what happens after – and an interesting take on it too.
About the Book
Margot Hart travels to Ireland to write a biography of the famous Deverill family. She knows she must speak to the current Lord Deverill – JP – if she is to uncover the secrets of the past. A notorious recluse, JP won’t be an easy man to crack. But Margot is determined – and she is not a woman who is easily put off.
What she never expected was to form a close bond with JP and be drawn into his family disputes. Shouldering the blame for running up debts that forced him to sell the family castle, JP is isolated and vulnerable. With help from his handsome son Colm, it seems as though Margot might be the only one who can restore JP’s fortunes.
Will the family ever succeed in healing rifts that have been centuries in the making?
