Return Match Cadell Hpb

Celia Pressley's cottage in the suburban town of Longbrook was not quite what Nigel, just back from Brazil considered the ideal home for his mother. But, incurable optimist that she was, she overlooked the draughts, the tangled garden, the rickety staircase, even the brass band that used the barn next door for practice, and found contentment in the cosily crowded rooms, unexpected flowers and blossoms and the glimpse of a slow-moving river from the gate. In the same way, she had never entirely given up hope that one day her son would marry her goddaughter, Rona, even though when he had last seen her she was still an awkward teenager. One fact, however, that Mrs Pressly could not bury in rosy optimism, was that Mill Acres, the open land behind her cottage was about to be bought by property developers - what would happen to her country idyll once they moved in? Francis Latimer who was selling the land was certainly more interested in the beautiful, worldly Maria Montallen than in old Mrs Pressley's peace of mind. But was the land, in fact, his to sell? His stepfather had made the land over to him, but the Deed of Gift was mysteriously nowhere to be found. As friends, neighbours and family join together in the search for this all-important document, old friendships are cemented and new ones born.
