Grand Affair (CH)

'Her imagination is thoroughly original...superbly written' -DAILY MAIL 'A big, wallowy delicious read' - THE TIMES Unaware of the misery that surrounded her birth, for the first four years of her life all Ottilie Cartaret knows is love. And when her mother, Ma O'Flaherty, moves her family to St Elcombe in Cornwall, their fortunes seem set fair. However, Ma tragically dies and Ottilie is adopted by the Cartarets, who run the Grand Hotel. The little girl grows up pampered and spoilt, not only by her adoptive parents but by all the visitors - with the exception of their mysterious annual guest, nicknamed 'Blue Lady'. But as times change and the regular vistors die off, only Ottilie can save the now-decaying hotel.
