ABOUT THE BOOK After her mother's death, twenty-year-old Sophie Ross is left orphaned in London. With no money and little chance of an income, she tries to get work as a governess to avoid destitution. Now alone in the world, she only has the company of her erstwhile nursemaid and faithful friend, Hannah. But unbeknown to Sophie, her mother instructed Hannah to post a letter to Craigmore House in Cornwall upon her death. The letter will be the catalyst that changes Sophie's life forever as she learns of her mother's romance, marriage and then ultimate rejection by her own father and the estranged family she left behind in Cornwall. The Kilpatrick family welcome Sophie and Hannah into their fold, but tensions rise and family secrets are revealed as Sophie attempts to rebuild her life and find happiness. MY REVIEW Diney Costeloe has done it again with another beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt historical novel that will take your breath away. Sophie Ross lives a simple but content life with her mother and nursemaid Hannah even though she grieves for the tragic loss of her father, as they all do. But when her mother sadly passes on, Sophie realises that she must try to find work or they will find themselves in dire circumstances. But what she doesn't know is that her mother's family has been informed of what has happened and Sophie finds herself taken to Cornwall to a family that she never knew existed. As Sophie learns more about her mother and the family that she belongs to, there will be tension, secrets, danger, and love as Sophie uses her own strength to find her way but will it all work out? MISS MARY'S DAUGHTER by Diney Costeloe brings the past alive with beautiful prose and detailed settings and as always characters that become like family. Sophie and Hannah are wonderful characters and I love their strength and determination throughout, but my favourite character has to be a certain little girl who is nobody's fool (you'll see what I mean when you read it). There is hope, there is darkness, poverty and there are those who are not what they seem, all mixed throughout with this compelling story of love, the wildness of nature, and hope, and I could not put this book down until I got to the end. MISS MARY'S DAUGHTER by Diney Costeloe is simply a must for historical fiction fans. AUTHOR BIO Encouraged by my publisher father, I have been writing all my life. When I was five, he took my first effort to his office and brought it back in a cardboard cover with the label, 'Tom's Party'written by Diney, published by Daddy. I've never looked back and always have some writing on the go. To date I have written 10 romantic novels under the name of Diney Delancey (I liked the shape of the name and it sounded like a romantic novelist) and four novels as Diney Costeloe.
