    About this series

    Olivia Hanbury is widowed in the middle of WWI, and reluctantly goes back to live with her parents. In the village, the Vicar’s wife is trying to set up a Women’s Institute. Olivia helps her and for the first time since her husband’s death she feels useful. However, her family decide the Vicar’s wife is giving her foolish ideas, so they forbid her to help any more. Instead, Olivia runs away to become one of the paid organisers who is helping set up local Women’s Institutes in Wiltshire. Her work brings her to Greyladies, where she meets Phoebe. Will she manage to make a life for herself or will her family and those who don’t approve if the WI stop her?

Arriving at the grand Dalton House, she meets the owners' crippled son Joseph, with whom friendship soon blossoms. When circumstances force Joseph to leave the family home, Harriet is happy to accompany him. But Harriet is unprepared for her inheritance of Greyladies, a supposedly haunted house in the country. While Harriet and Joseph grow ever closer, the plots and actions of both their families threaten to destroy their happiness. Will their love, and the legacy of Greyladies, be able to survive?
