This review is from: The Hawthorne Heritage (Hardcover)

Jessica Hawthorne, the younger daughter of a prosperous upper middle class family in 19th century Suffolk, has always adored her older childhood companion, Robert Fitzbolton who lived at nearby Old Hall.When Jessica's eldest brother Edward is drowned under dubious circumstances, his place as heir is taken by his ruthless brother Giles.Danny, a handsome young artist, is hired to restore the family chapel, and though young Jessica is instantly smitten, he thinks of her as a child and pursues her elder sister with disastrous results. This is a great read..a family saga which travels to Florence and leads Jessica through a tragically wrong marriage to Robert, back to her home and finally a reunion with Danny. It's a cross between historical fiction and a warm yet sad romance..a story for those who enjoy a big family saga.
