Abington Abbey

“I believe I’ve got the very house, Cara.” “Have you, darling? It’s the fifty-third.” This time George Grafton has more than a name to offer: Abington Abbey, with cloisters, a chapel and three thousand acres.

In a warm London drawing room, banker George and his daughter Caroline pore over photographs of a country estate that might change the shape of family life. George sees the promise of a grand new home; Caroline, affectionate but clear-eyed, knows how easily his hopes can outrun reality. With her sisters, her brother Bunting and the devoted Miss Waterhouse close around him, George must decide whether Abington Abbey is truly the place for them—and whether the pleasures of country life will match the picture in his mind. Will this be the house at last?
