Synopses

The Scarlet Nightingale

In the late 1930s, seventeen-year-old Rosamund Hanbury leaves the endless summers of her coastal Devonshire home for high society London. Under the guidance of her formidable aunt, she learns to host dinner parties and mix with Britain’s most influential figures. When Harry Napier sweeps her off her feet at London’s Café de Paris, she is briefly able to forget that Britain has declared war.

Bring Me Home

Set in the Highlands, the story begins on a seemingly perfect afternoon at a lochside castle that has belonged to the same family for generations. Charlie Stuart welcomes guests to the annual summer drinks party. As conversation and laughter fill the air, friends and neighbours gather to toast the laird’s happiness and prosperity.

Mr Gandys Grand Tour

Suddenly released from the hen-pecked tedium of his ordinary existence, he finds himself unexpectedly free to pursue his dreams. He sets out on a Grand Tour of Europe, following the route once taken by eighteenth-century aristocrats. Expecting art, culture and pleasant weather, he does not anticipate new friendships, and possibly even love, along the way.
