Originally published as A Countess Below Stairs, this is the antidote to gloomy, rain-sodden afternoons. Feeling in need of a pick-me-up? - curl up in a large chair with this novel. Out for a summer afternoon on the river with hamper and champagne? - this is book to take. A trademark Ibbotson: a glorious romance with everything - handsome hero, lovely heroine and ghastly villain (villainess).
