Summary
A matter of honour. A sense of duty. A time for courage.
Ruthlessly ambitious Ambrose Constantine is determined that his daughter, Annabel, shall marry into the nobility. A self-made trawler owner and fish merchant, he has only his wealth to buy his way into Society.
When Annabel’s secret meetings with a young man employed at her father’s offices stop suddenly, she finds that Gilbert has mysteriously disappeared. Heartbroken, she finds solace with her grandparents on their Lincolnshire farm, but her father will not allow her to bury herself in the countryside and enlists the help of a business connection to launch his daughter into Society.
During the London Season, Annabel is courted by James Lyndon, the Earl of Fairfield, whose country estate is only a few miles from her grandfather’s farm. Believing herself truly loved at last, Annabel accepts his offer of marriage. It is only when she arrives at Fairfield Hall that she realises the true reason behind James’s proposal and the part her scheming father has played.
Through the years that follow, Annabel will know both heartache and joy, but the birth of her son should secure the future of the Fairfield Estate. Yet there are others who lay claim to the inheritance in a feud that will not be resolved until the trenches of a bitter world war.

A wonderful story from start to finish.
This is the first book of Margaret Dickinson's I have listened to and it won't be the last. A heartwarming story, I was drawn to the numerous characters, who went on to raise up the neglected village of Fairfield, all led by the inspirational Lady Annabel. Beset with its share of sadness, betrayal and romance, I found this to be a well written book and one I could not stop listening to.

Brilliant read
This book is the best of Margaret Dickinsons I think. It is full of ups and downs twists and turns. The plot seems tot change and the noration is perfect which makes the story line work even better. The fact that the things that go on in the book really did go on in the aristocracy of years gone by. I highly recommend this book you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic story from first to last chapter.
A totally engrossing story from first to last chapter I listened to this wonderful story in two days, it was totally engrossing.
Every single chapter was relevant with no unnecessary "fill in" as can be the case in many books.
Superb narration made this book the perfect listen!

Loved this one
I am pretty hooked on Margaret Dickinson’s novels and particularly like Anne Dover as narrator. This was largely a feel good story of the impact of one very moral person - the lead character. My only quibble is that Dickinson’s stories have a great build up with careful scene and character setting and the ending is always short and rushed in an epilogue. Does not stop me listening to more stories though!

My perfect book
It was by accident I stumbled across Margaret Dickinson, when looking for a book about suffragettes.
This is another excellent novel, I also enjoyed the narration and can't wait to listen to another hour on my commute.
I am from Lincolnshire, my neice is called Annabelle and I went to school on Bargate so for me there were so many things I could relate to.
I like to try and mix what j listen to but if I wasn't too disciplined I would continually listen to every book of hers.
I love them!

Utterly wonderful!!
Visited Gunby Hall last week and saw the book on sale in the NT shop. Sought it out on Audible and have been transfixed by this story ever since. If you love a saga and the story of sacrificial, rescuing love then listen to this.

Totally absorbing.
Well written, draws you in right from the start. you can't stop listening. I was slightly disappointed with the ending but it didn't spoil the story.
