‘ SENSATIONAL... THIS BOOK WILL STEAL YOUR TIME AND YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY FOR IT ’ The Worm Hole ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GOOD JUICY SAGA READ AND ANNE MELVILLE IS A MOST ENGAGING MISTRESS OF THE CRAFT' Oxford Today ***** Midge and Gordon Hardie are the children of a respected and prosperous Oxford wine merchant. But while their father’s customers are charming and sophisticated ladies and gentlemen from the upper classes, the Hardies are shut out of the highest levels of society, trapped by their position as mere traders. Midge wants more. She wants the rewards she believes her sharp intelligence should bring – as well as the intrigue and luxury her mundane life is lacking. Gordon’s loves are botany and travel. He yearns to break free from the stifling cosiness of Oxford and travel to Tibet and China in search of adventure. Meanwhile, Lucy and Archie Yates , the grandchildren of the Marquess of Ross, have everything they could ever need. But they too yearn for different lives. As the two families meet in Oxford, they find their dreams don’t always come true. At least not in the way they planned… THE HOUSE OF HARDIE is a sparkling story of Victorian love, ambition and loss – a compelling start to Anne Melville’s fine saga of a British family’s fortunes. ‘Anne Melville writes entertainingly with an excellent sense of period and the further adventures of the House of Hardie will be eagerly greeted by her many fans’ Western Mail ‘Anne Melville has already made a huge popular impact with her Lorimer series. True to form, the perfectly paced prose of this first volume of her new saga keeps readers in a compelling balance of hope and suspense’ Eastern Daily Press Readers love Anne Melville’s Hardie Family ‘A 5* historical read’ Karen K Is Reading ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A great feat. An adventure, a number of lessons, some romance, and a particular attention to storytelling that is at the top end of the scale’ The Worm Hole ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully written and a captivating story of wartime and the lives of these young women' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Refreshing take on the theme of impoverished gentility with the usual family tensions, romantic relationships and money issues around the time of WW2’ 'Powerful story – totally absorbing' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘An enjoyable historical novel, with some interesting characters, that fulfilled my need for some travel and adventure’ Nut Press 'What a lovely book/story this turned out to be! Was believable and was a lovely WW2 saga!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *** Anne Melville is a pseudonym of Margaret Potter, the daughter of the author and lecturer Bernard Newman and the wife of Jeremy Potter, novelist and historian.
