The Memory of Lost Senses by Judith Kinghorn

A country house. A long, hot summer. A story of love. THE MEMORY OF LOST SENSES - a must read for any fan of Downton Abbey.

The Memory of Lost Senses is a witty, clever and compelling tale, with a beautiful love story at its heartI loved it -- Jane Harris
'Judith Kinghorn's exquisite new novel [is] a sensual and visual feast of a story... a mesmerising book of finely wrought words... Beautifully descriptive, intriguing and full of emotion-packed, slow-motion snapshots... Thoughtful, delicately crafted and imaginative, The Memory of Lost Senses is a page-turning, atmospheric mystery story but with a powerful, all-consuming love affair burning deep at its core to direct the action ... and steal our hearts' * Lancashire Evening Post *
A lyrically written and wonderfully evocative, romantic historical novel that draws you into the intriguing and secret lives of the characters in the hot lazy summer of 1911. A Countess, her grandson, a famous author writing her memoir and a young village girl are brought together and as the long buried family secrets are revealed all their lives will be changed forever. After her enchanting, sweeping debut we think 'the tricky second novel' has been delivered with aplomb - highly recommended reading especially for reading groups * Lovereading *
'An evocative tale about the power of memory... Kinghorn's prose is lovely, lavishly describing both the characters and the setting... this book is sure to create a whole new legion of fans' -- Historical Novel Society
