Publisher's summary

David Eliot’s future seemed secure with his engagement to Marly Tranter, the daughter of the incredibly rich and powerful Sir Bertram Tranter. As an architect, David seemed to fit right in with the family, even if it included a golden collar. But the mission on which Sir Bertram sent David and Marly to Portugal created havoc in everyone’s plans, including the preposterous Mr. Easter, the eccentric Lady Pearling, and Teresa, Senhora Silva’s delightful and beautiful niece. What David finds out when he gets there changes his perspective on his life and future.

This book offers a fresh and interesting blend of romance and good humor, with a strong feeling of the way of life of Portugal before tourism invaded and changed the country forever.

Sweet and Funny

This book has some real stinker characters, some feisty characters with hearts of gold, and characters who love to help others. There are love stories and real estate ventures with the background of 1960’s Portugal. I laughed out loud many times while listing to the excellent narration.

I love this author

Elizabeth Cattells characters are so well drawn… So much humor. I love that she does not keep her characters in their heads… Thinking thinking… No, she tells a good story by what happens!

Another excellent story by Elizabeth Cadell

Janet Cadell Reynolds (the author's daughter) was an excellent choice for narrator of this amusing book. it's another one set in Portugal - these are my favorites.
As well as skillfully drawn characters and a picturesque setting, there is a delicate romance that blossoms to fruition as the story unfolds.
I highly recommend all of Elizabeth Cadell's romances. The beautiful narration by her daughter is the icing on the cake.

My Favorite Elizabeth Cadell Novel

I have read and reread this novel and always enjoyed the characters good and bad, and the immersion in Portuguese culture and landscape that it provides.
