Youre not doing very much at the moment, darling. I dont suppose youd care to house-sit for a while?
Thus begins the irresistible story of two fixer-uppersan old house and a young womanand their efforts to recapture their true luster.
When Hetty Langden, freshly dumped and broken-hearted, agrees to look after her great-uncles long-abandoned mansion in the British countryside, shes at something of a lifetime low. With no job, no lover, no prospects, and no particular talent for resuscitating crumbling estates, she hopes for nothing more than some good old-fashioned escape. What she finds includes a cast of quirky and ever-present neighbors, a couple of SNAGS (Sensitive New Age Guys), some very humorless bank officials, two disarming little canines, one gracious, dilapidated, romantic old house, and, just maybe, enough elbow grease to polish everything up again.
A British bestseller thats as inviting as an elegant old house full of unexplored rooms (after a good scrubbing-down, of course), Stately Pursuits is the funniest, smartest, and warmest read of the season.
