When Sarah is told that Joe has been killed in the war, Sarah falls into the arms of Edward Hamilton. By manipulating his way into the family, Edward’s cunning plan pays off when Sarah agrees to marry him. All he has to do is wait until her 21st birthday to get his hands on her fortune.  

In a startling turn of events a body is found brutally murdered on the grounds of Portchester Castle, the evidence points to Sarah as the main suspect and she is arrested for murder. The battle is on for Mr Shaw, Sarah’s solicitor, to save her but has she really lost everything and everyone around her?

“In this story the sun sets over Whittington Manor, a magnificent, imposing, mansion located between Portchester and Fareham. So wonderfully secure and peaceful, it is hard to believe the fate that awaits it. Set in the years of World War II, Whittington Manor portrays the lives of the Whittington and Lambert families, who come from very different social classes.  This enchanting love story of Sarah Whittington and Jo Lambert shows that their special love knew no boundaries” says author  Claire Voet; born in Gosport, across the shores of Portsmouth Harbour.
