Story
Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas she has no recollection of her past association with it – the result of a tragic accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried here.

Loved it!
A wonderful story woven so cleverly with love, romance, drama and wisdom. No other narrator would do it such justice as Juanita McMahon.
BTW, the Peruvian girl found in the mountain in 1990's was Juanita de Arequipa. She was one of many pure, beautiful young girls sent to a special home to live their short lives knowing they would be sacrificed to the 'gods'.
A volcanic eruption, nearby, spewed ash into her mountain and partially melted the ice, where 2 explorers discovered her 500 years after she died there.
She now resides in USA and visits Arequipa, Peru (where she was found) once a year in her special climate-controlled box for display. I lived in Arequipa for a few years and was lucky enough to see her, and learn her story. Her hair, flesh and nails are still preserved.
Many other children and their belongings have been found also.
