Turning for Home - Hardcover

Lady Pamela Bentham is old, difficult and disliked by most of her family, who plot unceasingly to evict her from the lovely Somerset house which has been her home all her married life. Once indulged and privileged as the wife of a diplomat, she now lives alone, looked after by one reluctant carer. It is this woman's sudden departure which brings Maeve Delaney into her life.

Free-spirited and cynical, outspoken and disrespectful, with a penchant for exceedingly bright clothes, Maeve agrees to be Lady Pamela's companion only because she is homeless and broke. It is a decision which will turn everyone's lives upside down; for what begins as open warfare gradually changes into something entirely different, when - to the disapproval of Lady Pamela's horrible family -Maeve encourages her to realise her dream of having a winner at the Cheltenham Festival with her one remaining horse.

Moving, funny, filled with every kind of love affair, but with a shock ending, TURNING FOR HOME is reminiscent of the very best of Rosamund Pilcher, and is guaranteed to linger on in the heart and memory long after the last page is turned.
