El Destino de una Condesa -Eva Ibotsson-

La familia Grazinsky llegó a Inglaterra sin nada. En Rusia dejaron vastos terrenos, un palacio de ochenta habitaciones, joyas preciosas, ostentosos vestidos y una envidiable vida social.

Anna, la hija de los condes, acostumbrada a vivir rodeada de riquezas, atenciones y comodidades, se ve obligada a buscar un empleo para mantenerse. De tal manera que, acepta trabajar como criada de Mersham, una mansión de la campiña inglesa.

Anna intenta pasar desapercibida, pero su belleza y comportamientos captan la atención de todos y en especial la del heredero de la casa, Rupert Westerholme. No obstante, las convenciones entre señores y criados dificultarán su relación.

Esta es una novela para leer de un tirón, no porque sea complicada de entender, sino porque cautiva y atrapa a cualquiera que se sumerge en sus páginas. Ambientada en el siglo XX, la historia está impregnada de amor, secretos y conflictos internos. Una obra para no olvidar.
