Summary
Polly Perkins can hardly believe her luck when she is taken on as an under-housemaid at Swallowcliffe Hall. At first it's all Polly can do to keep up, with endless fires to be laid, carpets to be swept and beds to be made. Will she ever feel at home in this grand old house, full of whispers and ghosts from the past?
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
For 'Downton Abbey' fans! Scandal, romance and intrigue in a grand old English country house: Swallowcliffe Hall, home to the aristocratic Vye family and the staff who look after them.Â
When Polly Perkins starts work at the Hall, she finds it hard to learn the manners and etiquette expected of her. Life at Swallowcliffe is a whirl of shooting parties, picnics and balls, and an army of servants is required to look after the guests. Housemaids are meant to be seen and not heard, and nobody notices the quiet young girl who makes their beds and lights their fires. But Polly is sharp-eyed and quick-witted, and gradually she uncovers a tragic secret lurking in the shadows of the Hall's elegant rooms - a secret that will end up breaking her heart.
When a beautiful young American heiress arrives to stay at Swallowcliffe, Polly must decide whether the time has come to reveal what she knows.
