In this five-book box set: BOOK 1: AUTUMN SOFTLY FELL Abandoned by her father and left in the care of the Brannan family, who she has never met, eight-year-old Dorothea finds herself cast away in a big, strange house in the middle of the countryside. Her one wish is to return to her old home in London. But as time passes and hopes of ever going back start to fade, Dorothea begins to wonder just where home really is . . . BOOK 2: NOTHING UNDONE REMAINED Life has been kind to Roderick Brannan in his teenage years, and in the autumn of 1906 there is nothing he wants more than to make a name for himself at school. But when tragedy strikes the Brannan clan, Roderick must return to the family home. Now he must learn to adapt as he grows into a man of the world. BOOK 3: DREAMS THAT VEIL Twelve-year-old Eliza eagerly awaits the return of her brother, Roderick, from university. She plans to spend all the sun-drenched summer days exploring the grounds and picnicking with Roderick and cousin Dorothea. But these twenty-somethings are growing up fast. They are forging lives and loves of their own, and Eliza feels left behind . . . BOOK 4: THE LIVES WE LEFT BEHIND Mrs Eloise Brannan refuses to believe there will be a war. For she knows what troubles and hardship it will bring upon her now grown-up headstrong Roderick and sweet Elizabeth, and their ever-patient cousin Dorothea. But war does indeed come, and Roderick is determined to fight. He secures a commission in France, leaving behind his pregnant wife. Whatever happens, Eloise knows the Brannans must stick together to survive. BOOK 5: REMINDERS OF HOME Soft-hearted Dorothea Kaufmann returns to her family home. She yearns to be reunited with her husband Johann, who she has not seen since the war began. The only thing keeping Dorothea together is the thought of once again being by her darling Johanns side. But then a letter arrives. And Dorotheas life will never be the same. How much more will be taken from her? Dorothea has always worn her heart on her sleeve, but one tragedy too many may just harden that heart beyond repair.
