A thoroughly uplifting experience from beginning to end. Helene, who you may remember from 'A Wild Pursuit', wants a child like her other friends. She has been living apart from her big, bad husband for many years and even though she ran away with Rees to Gretna, the experience of married life was not too pleasant for either of them.
Rees has an Opera singer installed in his wife's bedroom and is thought of as a rakehell. Appearances are nearly always deceptive but the road to happiness for both Rees and Helene and also his brother Tom, who visits from 'up t'north' and Lina, the singer, is a joy to read and a laugh a minute. There is another little heartwarming diversion concerning five year old Meggin woven expertly into the tale. All in all a wonderful end book to the series, easy to read and very satisfying. Loved it!!
