Review: Left alone in the world after her father's death, Sara was glad to accept her 'aunt' Harriet's invitation to become her companion. But although on the face of it, it seemed to be the ideal solution, at any rate for the time being, Sara soon found there were problems - and the biggest of these was the enigmatic Jude. Just who was he, and what was his relationship to her aunt? Certainly they seemed very close - yet for much of the time Jude seemed as contemptuous of Harriet as he was of everyone else. So perhaps it was not the wisest thing for Sara to feel more and more attracted to him...Jude is Harriet's son that she had as a result of an affair with James Hadley. James has another son - the "rightful" heir - Rupert and a younger daughter. Harriet's ploy is to match Sara with Rupert as a means of some sort of revenge against James who wouldn't marry her even after his wife died. But Sara and Jude fall in love and that's basically the story. Nonetheless, the story is well written like any other Anne Mather book although, I would have preferred if Jude acted a bit more like his age and if Sara weren't so clueless (she's not spineless though.)
