It soon becomes clear that some more positive move has to be made.


Under pressure to make an early settlement, Edward decides on a personal interview and travels to York, planning to mix business with pleasure by staying at an old school friend’s hotel.

Elizabeth Cadell was born in 1903 in Calcutta, India. During the Great War she studied music in London, but refused a musical career and returned to India where she married and had two children. After she was widowed ten years later, she returned to England.


Elizabeth wrote her first book 'My Dear Aunt Flora' during the Second World War in 1946, thereafter producing another 52 light-hearted, humorous and romantic books which won her a faithful readership in England and America. She moved to Portugal in 1960 and subsequently set many of her books in that country. She died in 1989, aged eighty-five.


The Elizabeth Cadell Books are now being republished on e-book, paperback and audio by Janet Reynolds, daughter of Elizabeth Cadell, under the publishing label Friendly Air Publishing.
