Fans of <i>Downton Abbey</i> and Kate Morton's <i>The Forgotten Garden </i>will absolutely adore <i>The House at Tyneford</i>."--Kristin Hannah, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Nightingale <p/>"The House at Tyneford</i> is a wonderful, old-fashioned novel that takes you back in time to the manor homes, aristocracy and domestic servants of England. In this setting, Natasha Solomons gives us a courageous heroine whose incredible love story will keep you in suspense until the final page"--Kathleen Grissom, author of <i>The Kitchen House <p/></i>"<i>The House at Tyneford</i> is an exquisite tale of love, family, suspense, and survival. Capturing with astonishing detail and realism a vanished world of desire and hope trapped beneath rigid class convention, Natasha Solomons's stunning new novel tells the story of Elise Landau, a Jewish Austrian teenager from a family of artists, who is forced to flee her home in Vienna carrying only a guide to household management and her father's last novel, hidden on pages stuffed inside a viola. Elise hides as a parlor maid in a fine English country estate, but soon she discovers that passion can be found in the most unexpected places. Already a bestseller in Britain, American readers will thrill to <i>The House at Tyneford</i>."--Katherine Howe, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The House of Velvet and Glass <p/></i>"Like <i>Downton</i>, this romance compellingly explores the upstairs-downstairs dynamic of estate life."--<i>Entertainment Weekly <p/></i>"Solomons's poignant tale provides richly textured details that hold the reader's interest. Fans of Ann Patchett will find Solomons's style similar and will appreciate how the subdued tone and the quiet of the countryside contrast with the roar of war."--<i>Library Journal <p/></i>"Halfway though, I was so invested in this gorgeously written story that I could barely read on, fearful that what I wished to happen would never come to pass. Permeated with an exquisite sadness, it reminded me of <i>Atonement...</i>I adored this book."--Donna Marchetti, <i>The Cleveland Plain Dealer</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Natasha Solomons</b> is a screenwriter and the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Gallery of Vanished Husbands, </i> <i>The House at Tyneford, Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English, </i>and <i>The Song of Hartgrove Hall</i>.
