Netherwood: A Novel by Jane Sanderson

  Netherwood: A Novel by Jane Sanderson. William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, 2011. Adult fiction.

Tiring of waiting for another season of Downton Abbey? Netherwood is the ancestral home of coal baron Lord Netherwood and his family. The small village nearby is home to miners, villagers, and a few visitors. The two groups meet when Eve Williams, an enterprising young mother faces a tragedy. Her former act of charity brings a new lodger and friend, a Russian woman. Eve becomes a fabulous baker and is tapped by the Netherwoods to help at the manor and in their London home. Love and realistic situations in a slowly paced beautifully told tale! Sequel is Ravenscliffe.
