Then, at his sister's wedding, he meets the vibrant Daisy Chudleigh and her cousin, the heiress Matty Verrall. In love with Daisy but troubled by his family's decline, Kit chooses to marry Matty, though neither Kit nor Daisy is able to forget the other. When Matty, growing increasingly unhappy in her troubled, empty marriage, decides to re-create the estate's garden, she discovers solace and a gift of which she never dreamt.… (plus d'informations)
I'd give this three and a half stars if I could. It took ages to get going - far too many characters introduced in the early pages - but by about half way through I started to enjoy it.

A friend suggested I might like Buchan because I enjoy Joanna Trollope. Well, not based on this book. I skimmed my way through it but it just did not appeal to me. ( )
