By: D. E. Stevenson

Narrated by: Patience Tomlinson

Shortly before Bel's marriage to Ellis Brownlee, her friend, Louise Armstrong, goes house hunting for them and discovers a charming but neglected old stone cottage in the Cotswolds. Bel adores the house, called Fletchers End. Ellis buys the place from the absentee-owner, Lieutenant Commander Lestrange, and, after a picture-book wedding, the happy couple move in. As she embarks on her new life as a devoted wife, Bel loyally guides Louise through her own romantic tribulations. She also enjoys sharing with Ellis the excitement and satisfaction of decorating their first real home, as well as unravelling the mysteries of the old stone cottage. But with the unexpected arrival of Lieutenant Commander Lestrange, the peace of Fletchers End is suddenly threatened....

just love D. E. Stevenson

Her stories always grab me and the characters are wonderful. Such a pleasant escape read.

Good enough

D. E. Stevenson is always wonderful. Her gentle but engaging stories can be truly enchanting. This one is not her best but it's still worth the time.

A calm sweet story.

I loved the deep love between Bel and Ellis, and just the overall serenity of the storyline.

Very refreshing book!

I loved this continuing story of Bel and the story of the old house that Ellis and Bel so charmingly renovate.

Gentle, intelligent and uplifting

A warm story about the lives of people who have human troubles and strong principles.
