AUTUMN SOFTLY FELL by DOMINIC LUKE

AN EVOCATIVE AND CHARMING EDWARDIAN FAMILY SAGA Dorothea looked out of the nursery window. Hours and hours had passed and her papa had not come. Abandoned by her father and left in the care of an uncle she has never met, eight-year-old Dorothea Ryan finds herself cast away in a big, strange house in the middle of the countryside. No one seems to want her. Her one wish is to return to her old home in London. But as time passes and hopes of ever going back start to fade, Dorothea becomes more and more enmeshed in her new life at Clifton Park. She begins to wonder just where home really is . . . A beautifully written story of identity, loyalty and family set in the bucolic Edwardian countryside. Perfect for fans of John Galsworthy’s The Forsyte Saga, George Eliot’s Middlemarch, Sheila Riley, Rosie James, Beth Andrews and Gwen Kirkwood. PRAISE FOR AUTUMN SOFTLY FELL: “Well written . . . Obviously inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden.” Jay Dixon for the Historical Novel Society “A great story with very descriptive writing.” Fay ALSO BY DOMINIC LUKE BRANNANS FAMILY SAGAS Book 1: AUTUMN SOFTLY FELL Book 2: NOTHING UNDONE REMAINED Book 3: DREAMS THAT VEIL Book 4: THE LIVES WE LEFT BEHIND Book 5: REMINDERS OF HOME STANDALONES THE SECRETS WE KEEP
