From debut author Courtney Ellis comes a captivating novel about finding the courage to heal after the ravages of war. Alberta Preston accepts the commission of a lifetime when she receives an invitation from the Earl of Wakeford to spend a summer painting at His Lordship's country home, Castle Braemore. Bertie imagines her residence at the prodigious estate will finally enable her to embark on a professional and prove her worth as an artist, regardless of her gender. Upon her arrival, however, Bertie finds the opulent Braemore and its inhabitants diminished by the Great War. The earl has been living in isolation since returning from the trenches, locked away in his rooms and hiding battle scars behind a prosthetic mask. While his younger siblings eagerly welcome Bertie into their world, she soon sees chips in that world's gilded façade. As she and the earl develop an unexpected bond, Bertie becomes deeply entangled in the pain and secrets she discovers hidden within Castle Braemore and the hearts of its residents. Threaded with hope, love, and loss, At Summer's End delivers a portrait of a noble family--and a world--changed forever by the war to end all wars"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Recluses $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Wiltshire (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240409060609.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409041012.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025953.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20220406011624.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20211215033230.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20211211010330.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211005010628.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210812010154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E4A6CA4FB3211EB84FE297527ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
