The Long Season at Wraycliff House
In the slump of the 1930s, forty-one-year-old Marnie Aldbury steps off the last train into a faded seaside town with a borrowed case she can barely lift, sent to recover after her solicitor husband's sudden death exposed the secret ruin he had hidden from her for twenty years. She had kept his books, unpaid and unnamed, the whole of that time, and now she has nothing left but her name to the creditors and a competence no one will hire.
At Wraycliff House, a rambling old sea-bathing hotel that a sharp-tongued widow has turned into a place where women come to mend, Marnie cannot stop herself from quietly setting the House's chaotic accounts to rights. And she finds she is the one thing standing between the House and the bank that means to take it by the end of September. A warm, dignified story of a competent, invisible woman discovering that her worth is her own, of a found family of women holding one threadbare House together against the tide, and of the quiet courage of honest work.
Perfect for readers of warm historical fiction who love a slow-burn story of second chances, found family, and a woman finding her footing at last. The first book in The Wraycliff House Stories.
