Two entwined families the aristocratic Inghams and the Swanns who seve them. One stately home, Cavendon Hall, a grand imposing house nestled in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.
A society beauty; Lady Daphne Ingham is the most beautiful of the Earl's daughters. Being presented at court and then a glimmering marriage is her destiny BUT in the summer of 1913, a devastating event changes her future forever, and puts the House of Ingham at risk. Life as the families of Cavendon Hall know it - Royal Ascot, supper dances, grouse season feasts - is about to alter beyond recognition as the storm clouds of war gather.

Cavendon Hall strays from titles that I would usually read but something about it caught my eye and I don't regret it one bit, Cavendon Hall is a truly great book! I have not read any other titles by Barbara Taylor Bradford in the past but definitely will be in the future!
Cavendon Hall gives in insight to what life was like in the 1900's for both wealthy families and those that served them. The horrors and tragedy of War. The anticipation of loved ones returning, expectations on Woman from that era. All very real and eye opening stuff! War was a very scary thing for many woman as well as the men who were in the front line. It also made me realise that many of the horrible things that happen in today's world, did indeed happen long ago it was just not talked about and well hidden. The suffering of many woman would be unbearable in today's world.
Cavendon Hall was a home for Family. They treated the family who served them well and had a loyal relationship with them that spanned over many years. The way that Cavendon Hall was written made you feel a part of their world. There is battles of love, lust, tragedy and where to lay loyalties. A great read I will be looking into more titles from this author.
