A house. A dynasty. A gypsy's curse. Another gorgeous escapist listen from the Queen of West Country Saga, Linda Finlay. One noble family. Five eligible daughters. A sealed fate. Nettlecombe Manor, nestled in the rolling hills of Devon, is home to the Lord Farringdon and his second wife, Lady Charlotte. As if running the vast estate wasn't enough, Lord Farringdon has five daughters to keep him busy. Lady Charlotte is determined that the betrothal of the eldest, Louisa, should be celebrated with a ball that is the envy of Devon society and summons a corsetière from Exeter to measure them up for new corsets. Apprentice Jane Haydon arrives at Nettlecombe to do the fittings. Having never set foot in such a grand home, Jane is disturbed to hear tell of a gypsy's curse that has haunted the family for generations and a local wise woman's vision that there will never be a wedding at Nettlecombe... Linda Finlay returns with this glorious tale set in the West Country
