Fans of Downton Abbey will love this. Davina McCall

Christmas morning, 1969.
All eleven-year-old Esme Munroe wants for Christmas is for her mother to be on one of her good days and, secretly, for a velvet riding hat. So when she finds an assortment of wet towels and dirty plates in her stocking, shes just relieved Father Christmas remembered to stop at The Lodge this year.

But later that day Esmes mother disappears in the heavy snow. Even more mysteriously, only the Earl of Culcairn seems to know where she might have gone. Torn between protecting her mother and uncovering the secrets tumbling out of Culcairn Castles ornate closets, Esme realises that life will never be the same again after the snow

Susannah Constantine provides a rare glimpse into the secret lives of the scandalous upper classes. Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and The Crown.
