Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1913 and the world is on the brink of the Great War. The Kaiser is sabre rattling in Europe and men are beginning to query the existing order. To the majority of inhabitants on the estate of Cresswell Manor in Devon, the summer seems endless. Why should they not think that life will continue as it always has, ruled by the seasons and the whims of the Cresswell family? But change is afoot even for the Cresswells, and the England their forefathers knew is about to change beyond their wildest dreams - or fears.
