House in quill court

Venetia Lovell lives by the sea in Kent with her pretty, frivolous mother and idle younger brother. Venetia's father, Theo, is an interior decorator to the rich and frequently travels away from home, leaving his sensible and artistic daughter to look after the family. Venetia designs paper hangings and she and her father daydream about the imaginary shop they would like to display the best furniture, fabrics and art to his clients. When a handsome but antagonistic stranger, Jack Chamberlaine, arrives at the Lovell's cottage just before Christmas bringing terrible news, Venetia's world is turned upside-down and the family have no option but to move to London, to the House in Quill Court and begin a new life. Here, Venetia's courage and creativity are tested to breaking point, and she discovers a greater love than she could have ever imagined... Rich with vivid period detail and historical flavour, take a spectacular journey through vibrant Regency London -- if you love Joanne Harris and Philippa Gregory, you will adore Charlotte Betts.
