The House at Tyneford by Natasha Solomons is set at a beautiful English country house by the seashore, where 19 year old Elise takes a post as a maid to flee Vienna at the start of WWII. She leaves behind her family and a life of privilege to become a servant in a foreign land. At first lost and lonely, she finds friendship in unexpected places and the beauty of Tyneford House grows on her.
Full of historical details, Solomons transports the reader to another place and time. A wonderful story of English country life before the War changed everything.
