Woodspring

An unforgettable novel about war, love, loss, the passage of time - and an homage to a bygone era...


'This is a captivating, beautifully written novel. Elizabeth never disappoints. I highly recommend it.' Carol Drinkwater, bestselling author of the Olive Farm series

Since the house was built in 1810, the Danes have lived in the elegant, light-filled rooms of Woodspring, and walked in the fields and woods that surround the house. Over the years, and through the changing seasons, it has brought shelter, solace and joy.


But now it's 1940 and Europe is in the midst of war. Everything is changing, and nothing will be the same again.


The next three generations of Danes will live very different lives to their predecessors, at home and abroad. Yet they know they are forever tied to Woodspring.

Love and fortunes may come and go, no one is untouched by loss... But, throughout all this, Woodspring remains a constant.
