'Superb characters...an original storyline, this novel makes for excellent reading.' - READING PANEL When Ellen Carr, daughter of a militant suffragette and raised to be an intellectual, takes a job in Austria as housemother at the Hallendorf School of Music, Drama and the Dance, she simply wants to cook beautiful food. What she finds is an eccentrically magical world occupied by wild children, naked Harmony teachers and experimental dancers. Life seems idyllic, but outside the castle Hitler's Reich is already casting its menacing shadow over Europe. Through her growing friendship with the mysterious groundsman Marek, Ellen encounters the dreadful reality of flight from Nazi Germany, and, on the brink of war, discovers a passion that will shape her life.
