The Orchid House by Lucinda Riley was another fantastic recommendation by my former colleague. It’s a WWII period piece inside a framework of the present. There’s some mystery as well, which makes it a real page-turner. The story within the story is about the Crawford family and their estate, Wharton Park. Framing the story is Julia’s life recovering from an accident and learning about her grandmother’s life at Wharton Park. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and if you are a fan of Downton Abbey, as I am, you will like this too.
