WHAT IS A FORTUNE WORTH?

The Merriott sisters are born into a comfortable middle-class life and their house is full of fun and laughter. But then Letty, the fourth girl, arrives and tensions suddenly appear in the once happy home. For unbeknownst to the sisters, much depended on the new baby being born a boy - not least the happiness of their parents' marriage.

Letty has a beautiful face but a withered arm and while the girls and their mother can accept and love her as their own, her father's resentment of her is tantamount to dislike.

It is only when Aunt Rosabel, their mother's great-aunt, arrives for Christmas that all their fortunes change. Within months the Merriotts find themselves living in a great house, Merrylands in Wiltshire, with the promise of everything they, but most of all their father, have ever wanted.

Unfortunately, Aunt Rosabel is not what she seems and before long the family find themselves worse off than they have ever been...

Reviews

Flesh-creeping

—— Daily Telegraph

Intensely suspenseful, powerfully underplayed, subtly authoritative

—— New York Times

Quite, quite different... eerie, horrific, brilliant

—— Guardian

The pleasure of Mapp and Lucia is summed up, surely, in Alice Roosevelt's bon mot. "If you have nothing good to say about anybody, come and sit right by me."

—— Philip Hensher

Oh the joy of seeing Lucia again! These magic books are as fresh as paint. The characters are real and therefore timeless

—— Nancy Mitford , The Times

His glorious prose captures ephemeral glamour magically

—— Independent

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings

—— Ernest Hemingway

Read it again, forever

—— Boston Globe
