Historical Fiction

This is a delightfully witty and utterly charming novel that will have resonance for anyone today who has ever had, or contemplated! Dame Constance de Clair has a remarkable talent for getting what she wants. And, at this precise moment she wants to transform her beloved yet overly square castle, Vine Regis, by adding an extension. But for once, all is not going according to her plans... her builders seem more intent on demolishing the existing castle than they do on building the extension; her son's wife-to-be, Susanna, has arrived at Vine Regis eager to dislodge her as Lady of the Castle; Constance's son, Gervase, appears more interested in hunting than getting to know his intended and to top it all off, there appears to be thievery afoot. Something is going to have to be done about it all before the estate begins to crumble but the question is what?
