Book
Cavendon Hall
First published 2014
In 1913, Cavendon Hall is home to the aristocratic Inghams and supported by the Swanns, the family whose service to the estate stretches back for generations. Lady Daphne Ingham appears destined for a brilliant marriage until a violent event threatens her future and exposes the limits of the protection offered by wealth, rank and family reputation.
As the Inghams and Swanns close ranks around Daphne, the rituals of Edwardian society continue under gathering political and military tension. The approach of the First World War begins to dismantle the world on which Cavendon depends, forcing both families to reconsider loyalty, secrecy and the rigid social order that has governed life inside the house.
