FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

Welcome to Castle Deverill, and the incredible sweeping story of love and family.


Their lives were mapped out ahead of them. But love and war will change everything…

Castle Deverill, nestled in the rolling Irish hills, is home to three very different women: flame-haired Kitty Deverill, her best friend and daughter of the castle’s cook, Bridie Doyle, and her flamboyant English cousin, Celia Deverill.

When war breaks out, their lives will change forever.

Wrenched apart by betrayal and swept to different parts of the globe, their friendship will be tested a thousand times over. But one bond will keep them together forever: their fierce and unwavering longing for Castle Deverill and all the memories contained within it. 

Fall in love with beloved bestselling author Santa Montefiore's epic tale of romance, secrets, family and friendship with this, the first novel in the beloved Deverill Chronicles, perfect for everyone who loves Jojo Moyes, Rosamund Pilcher and Victoria Hislop.

Santa Montefiore

I really enjoyed this beautifully written book. It included the vast divide between the aristocracy and the servants who had to serve their every whim. All of this set against the Irish troubles at that time and the consequences for some of the characters involved. I appreciate the unexpected twist in the final pages, but was surprised at the sudden ending as I really did think there would still be another chapter....

If I were able to award no stars I would. The characters were irritating and I found the writing style forced and overblown. The habit of overloading every sentence with un-necessary adjectives ruined the flow of the writing. I do not like abandoning books and I forced myself to keep reading but, ultimately, I had to give up on it.
