Book description
On the eve of Sarah Whitfield's 75th birthday, she stands at the
window of her chateau in France, waiting for her family to join her.
Her memories take her back to the 1930s in New York, to her early
marriage and subsequent shameful divorce. She is persuaded by her
parents to join them on a trip abroad in the growing turmoil of
pre-war Europe.
There she meets Wiliam, Duke of Whitfield. Older than Sarah, and
fourteenth in line to the British throne, he sparks her intellectual
curiosity and makes her laugh. They make their home in a beautiful
crumbling French chateau until they are parted by the war. Afterwards
they are able to return to the chateau and establish the jewel
collection which leads to the House of Whitfield, jewellers to the
crowned heads of all Europe. Together they produce a family of four,
each of whom is drawn into the family business.
