Life in an English Stately Home - For the Jago family, the ending of the Second World War comes with a price: the death of their son, Kit, killed in action a week before peace. But life must go on for the destitute aristocrats and, in an act of desperation, Virginia Jago calls in Charles Ryland of the National Trust to renovate their crumbling ancestral home. But Charles faces opposition from every angle, as he represents a modern world at odds with Lizzah and life before the war. CONDITION â USED: Books sold are in GOOD or better condition.
