A sweeping story of upstairs, downstairs, love and loss by the author of MR ROSENBLUM'S LIST.
In the spring of 1938 Elise Landau arrives at Tyneford, the great house on the bay. A bright young thing from Vienna forced to become a parlour-maid, she knows nothing about England, except that she won't like it. As servants polish silver and serve drinks on the lawn, Elise wears her mother's pearls beneath her uniform, and causes outrage by dancing with a boy called Kit. But war is coming and the world is changing. And Elise must change with it.
At Tyneford she learns that you can be more than one person.
And that you can love more than once.

Solomon s latest novel continues her fascination with Jewish history, but throws in romance, heartache and the pathos of changing times. - Herald Sun

What typifies Solomon s storytelling is her ability to mix light with dark without diminishing the conviction of either mood. It is a moving examination of a young woman in wartime, the one family she loses and the other she creates. - Saturday Age
