In the spring of 1938 Elise Landau arrives at Tyneford, the great house on the bay. A bright young thing from Vienna forced to become a parlour-maid, she knows nothing about England, except that she won`t like it. As servants polish silver and serve drinks on the lawn, Elise wears her mother`s pearls beneath her uniform, and causes outrage by dancing with a boy called Kit. But war is coming and the world is changing. And Elise must change with it.
At Tyneford she learns that you can be more than one person.
And that you can love more than once.

Dear Natasha,
I have just finished your novel about the Viola and I enjoyed it sooo much; as many others in your blog: I just could not put the book down and stayed awake the whole night until 5.30 a.m. (and hoped my baby would not wake up
! I am living in Vienna and am so glad about the vivid picture you gave about Jewish prewar-life in this wonderful city, on the other hand of course, everything is so sad…I wept alot during reading it!
Thank you so much!!!!
Veronika, Vienna
