Book Overview
When her parents die in an unexpected tragedy, Maya inherits their beautiful, isolated home on the Somerset/Dorset border. At first, she has no intention of living there - she has her own business and a demanding life in London. But she gradually finds herself falling under the spell of the old house, and equally intrigued by Jango and Lias, the two brothers who are the only mourners at the funeral and have a mysterious connection with her family. When she discovers the diaries of another Maya, an ancestor who lived over a hundred years earlier, Maya finds that there is a link across the generations and this enables her to come to terms with her own history, and to resolve the dilemma of her future.

Hard to get into, but worth it
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The first 50 pages or so of this one are kind of dry and rough to get through, but once you get past that it is good. The story is about a British woman named Maya whose parents die suddenly and leave her their house. She has never had a relationship with them, her mom especially, being sent off to boarding schools her whole adolescence and seeing them only on holidays. She takes a leave of absence from work and moves into the house, planning at first to be there only long enough to fix the place up and get it ready to sell. Then Maya meets two relatives from a side of the family she never knew existed and begins to discover secrets about her family and herself that were intentionally kept from her her entire life. Patricia Wendorf holds out on us with the secrets and the twists until the very end, so the suspense and guesses go through the entire book.
