Book Description
Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he'd proposed, figuring that she'd be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn't help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?

With a history of depression, Cathy is only just recovering from a nervous breakdown and her husband Chris, a psychiatrist, is acutely aware of his wife's mental frailty. When Cathy tells Chris of her suspicions about Eloise's death, as well as her ability to sense Eloise's spirit, Chris thinks she is losing her grip on reality once again.

Book Description
This novel, written in five parts, tells the story of Eloise – a very young Melbourne girl who went to stay with an older friend and work in Smithton Tasmania – to avoid the shame of being an unwed mother and possibility of being forced into an abortion by her own family to protect their reputation. When her son Michael was born, after a few short months, she knew that she did not have the means to keep him. And, that to take him back to Melbourne would mean a permanent separation from her family. Michael was adopted by a loving childless couple and grew into a loving father himself. Eloise, thanks to the letters she received from her friend in Smithton, was able to stay informed about the good life he was enjoying thanks to her most difficult decision to give him up. Despite her ongoing sadness, as she matures, she meets a very gentle man, Arthur, and they marry and have a daughter of their own. In turn her daughter Penny has three children of her own, the youngest of these, Charlotte, is very close to Eloise and at times lives with her. With the support of his parents, Michael makes two attempts to meet his birth mother, but is unsuccessful as Eloise fears the judgments of others should his existence be revealed. Instead, she leaves a letter addressed to Charlotte in her bookcase, telling her the truth and hoping that she will be the bridge between the two families. And so, Charlotte begins a journey of discovery about her extended family.
