This novel is not a retelling of the most popular romance TV series, not a pastiche, and not a novelization. What you have here is the backstory of the legendary “Downton Abbey”—the starting point of the grand family saga that captivated hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.
Want to know how Cora and Robert met, and how a marriage of convenience turned into a story of love? Don’t understand why the enormous Grantham estate is called an “abbey” rather than Downton Manor? Have you wondered how the “emancipated” American woman managed to become a British lady and find her place in London’s high society—usually closed to outsiders? Have you thought about what “skeletons in the cupboard” and dangerous family secrets lie behind the grand façade of Downton—and what passions are boiling in the master’s rooms and among the servants’ quarters? Want to know what happened aboard the Titanic, along with which Downton Abbey nearly went under too?
Read this luxurious book and you’ll learn everything!
