Years later, while struggling with overwhelming grief over the death of her husband and young child, she returns to this tranquil place. There she reunites with Kit Crawford, heir to the estate and her possible salvation. <p/> When they discover an old diary, Julia seeks out her grandmother to learn the truth behind a love affair that almost destroyed the estate. Their search takes them back to the 1940s when Harry, a former heir to Wharton Park, married his young society bride, Olivia, on the eve of World War II. When the two lovers are cruelly separated, the impact will be felt for generations to come. <p/> This atmospheric story alternates between the magical world of Wharton Park and Thailand during World War II. Filled with twists and turns, passions and lies, and ultimately redemption, <i>The Orchid House</i> is a beautiful, romantic, and poignant novel. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> A really fine page-turner.-- "Elle (Germany)" </br></br>A sweeping, poignant saga that will enthrall fans of <i>The House at Riverton, Rebecca, </i>and <i>Downton Abbey.</i>-- "Shelf Awareness" </br></br>Atmospheric, heart-rending, and multilayered.-- "Grazia (UK)" </br></br>Great escapist reading for lovers of historical fiction.-- "Library Journal" </br></br>Lucinda Riley is one of the most compelling and gifted storytellers working today.-- "The Paramus Post" <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland.
