Elsbeth Edgar

A mystery and love story wrapped in one--fun.

Jane is trying to cope with a change of towns and not seeing much of her mother who is looking after her premature newborn sister who is ill in hospital. Feeling alone and miserable, friendship springs in the most unlikely places. She meets a mysterious old lady who lives like a hermit and a curious boy. A wonderfully healing story. Well told and interesting.

The story of Laura and Leon and the house Mr. Visconti built charms with a story of growing up, a romantic mystery, and true friendship.
