Patricia Ainger

Jane’s a fighter … which is just as well, her ex-boyfriend having left her with a massive pile of debt and precious little else. Her parents both long dead, and with no family to support her, she determines to put her life back together. It comes as a shock when she is contacted by a legal firm in Bristol acting on behalf of an aunt that Jane’s parents had never mentioned. The aunt, it appears, wants to make contact with the niece she has never seen. A visit to meet this aunt, a zany ex-Variety star who lives at Lizzie House, a large property in the village, opens up a whole new world to Jane, a world which forces her to rethink both her life and her perception of herself. Another book in The Villagers series.
