Without Charity

If you loved Downton Abbey, Brideshead Revisited, or Upstairs Downstairs, you will adore Michelle Paver’s first book, WITHOUT CHARITY!
When Sarah first sees Harlaston Hall, its grandeur unnerves her. How could this great mansion have anything to do with her grandmother Charity? Reluctantly, Sarah takes on the job of writing up the history of the hall, mainly so she can get away from London and the misery of a broken love affair. But as she becomes immersed in the poignant story of the house, and in particular of Robert, the last Lord Harlaston, it becomes vital that she uncovers the truth... wherever it might lead...
Lose yourself in this glorious novel of family secrets and forbidden love, and let Michelle transport you from present-day London to an English country village in Edwardian times... where the darkest mysteries of the past threaten to wreak havoc on the present. Amazon readers agree that it's a spellbinding read - awarding it 4.6 out of 5 stars (paperback edition).
