It is the year 1903 and Eleanor, the Duchess of Darnsworth, is the envy of many - a beautiful and sophisticated woman, happily married mother of three, well-respected lady of society and an accomplished horse-breeder. But beneath the perfect surface lurks the memory of a tragic loss that haunts Eleanor's every waking moment.On a visit to Vienna, she encounters the independent-minded and strong-willed Countess Sophie von Hagendorf, who, with her academic pursuits and unconventional lifestyle, has chosen to break through the rigid confines society has set out for her. She, too, has had to create a façade towards the world as loss and a fateful accident have left their scars.Sophie's brusque manners both exasperate and intrigue the Duchess, but with closer acquaintance, the two women discover a sympathy beyond anything expected and the prospect of a love that could redeem them both . . . but can they forge a relationship in European society?

“Fantastic historical love story It is wonderful to see such a touching love story of strong women (and supporting men) set in this period peice…. loved it 5.0 out of 5 stars Kari Escobedo
“In tristen Zeiten eine Aufmunterung Stilistisch sehr gut verfasst, angenehm zu lesen. Ab und an war mir die HeileWeltErzählung etwas zu viel, aber diese liebenswerten Personen haben mir über die kleinen Tiefs beim Lesen geholfen (sehr wenige, sehr kleine Tiefs), da änderten auch die eingestreuten Schicksalsschläge nichts- es blieb bei heiler Welt. Und diese ist ein toller Kontrast zu dem, was wir gerade in Realität vorfinden, so dass das Herz sich endlich einmal erholen konnte, vielen Dank dafür. 5.0 out of 5 stars jelängerjeälter
