CAN ONE CHANCE ENCOUNTER CHANGE THE COURSE OF A LIFE?
Visitors to Stoke Park in Worcestershire could be forgiven for thinking that the house had a timeless quality. Certainly this occurs to Frederick Jourdan, the American composer who has rented the place to escape from overwork and from his well-meaning but exhausting fiancée. He revels in the peace and beauty of the place, until, early one morning, he happens upon the heartstopping sight of the reclusive young occupant of the nearby Folly feeding deer at early dawn. He finds his life has been changed for ever.
Time has indeed stood still for Fleur Fisher-Dilke, but for reasons that can't be guessed. Born to an ambitious surgeon and his social-climbing wife, Fleur has only ever been seen as a tool to improve the family's social prospects.
Quite by chance, however, she finds she has a prodigious gift, and in spite of her parents' opposition, her talent blossoms. Choices are made, but not forgiven, and it is only when her life takes a sudden and tragic turn, and she meets a fascinating and irreverent figure who is her opposite in every way, that Fleur finds the courage she needs to move forward...
