Inside the glass orb was a miniature garden and a house. If she stared long enough, she could almost see the people inside. But whether they were trapped there, or kept safe, in that miniscule snowbound world, she couldn't have said... Christmas 1926 holds bright promise for nineteen-year-old Daisy Forbes, with celebrations under way at Eden Hall, her family's country estate in Surrey, England. But when Daisy, the youngest of three daughters, discovers that her adored father, Howard, has been leading a double life, her illusions of perfection are shattered. Worse, his current mistress, introduced as a family friend, is joining them for the holidays. As Daisy wrestles with the truth, she blossoms in her own right, receiving a marriage proposal from one man, a declaration of love from another, and her first kiss from a third. Meanwhile, her mother, Mabel, manages these social complications with outward calm, while privately reviewing her life and contemplating significant changes. And among those below stairs, Nancy, the housekeeper, and Mrs. Jessops, the cook, find that their long-held secrets are slowly beginning to surface... As the seasons unfold in the new year, and Daisy moves to London, desires, fortunes, and loyalties will shift during this tumultuous time after the Great War. The Forbes family and those who serve them will follow their hearts down unexpected paths that always return to where they began...Eden Hall.

Hair dressed. At least an inch shorter.

An ARC DNF-ed - it was like reading a very boring Downton Abbey season. It was such a good start, the writing is good but there's nothing that keeps the story going.

Cathythoughts Loving the hair 👍 7y

Ten hours and #twenty-four minutes left in this book. Either my kindle is broken, or I've been reading very slowly.

#booksandcoffee this morning. I'm meeting a friend in about an hour. Had to leave too early because my son had forgotten the book the class is reading at the moment. So, mummy to the rescue.

#twenty-two

Enjoying this ARC that started with the search for Agatha Christie, whose car had been found abandoned at a nearby lake.
