Book description
The Spanish House is a hotch potch of designs, Georgian, Gothic and
Moorish, as if whoever started it had simply got bored. It has long
been known to locals as an architectural folly, and is now nearly
derelict to boot.
When its reclusive owner dies intestate the Spanish House is left to
his city-dwelling niece. For Isabel, recently widowed, the house is a
potential lifeline - the only hope she has of providing for her two
children without having to sell her most treasured possession. But for
neighbour Matt McCarthy, the house is revenge - on the family who
ruined his father. For his wife it's the key to the perfect family
life, while a struggling property developer sees in it a whole new future.
As desires clash and intertwine, lives and loves are demolished - and
the Spanish House becomes a true folly indeed . . .
