Music From Heaven (Barbara Cartland's Pink Collection 144)
Perfect for fans of the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn
In the quaint village of Preston Baily, in Kent, Martina Bradshaw sadly loses both her caring mother and beloved father; a talented musician who had unfortunately never managed to achieve the critical acclaim he so deserved. Martina must now find a way of making enough money to pay Mrs. Amos the cook and Lily the housemaid. Martina sells much of her Father's Music Memorabilia to her neighbour, Sir Alexander Palmer, who suddenly starts to show a keen interest in Martina’s welfare. Another neighbour, the handsome Earl of Westfield, has a ten year old half-sister, Lady Anne, who is a difficult child and has been impossible to teach music to. So Martina agrees to teach Lady Anne herself and she soon gains her trust.
In the meantime one of her mother’s old friends, Mrs. Elizabeth Carrington, invites Martina to a party in London where she lovingly plays her father’s tunes on a piano and a music publisher promises to issue them.
When the Country Fair comes to Preston Bailey, everyone in the neighbourhood is drawn to the spectacle including the Earl and Lady Anne. It is a happy day, although trouble is brewing for Martina. How Lady Anne goes missing in a dreadful stormy night and is found in the Earl’s maze by Martina, only to lose her again. How Lady Anne is rescued from a raging river and Sir Alexander Palmer’s true intent towards Martina is revealed. And how Martina and the Earl find the love they have both been seeking is told in this fast-moving romance by BARBARA CARTLAND.
Barbara Cartland was the world’s most prolific novelist who wrote an amazing 723 books in her lifetime, of which no less than 644 were romantic novels with worldwide sales of over 1 billion copies and her books were translated into 36 different languages. As well as romantic novels, she wrote historical biographies, 6 autobiographies, theatrical plays and books of advice on life, love, vitamins and cookery. She wrote her first book at the age of 21 and it was called Jigsaw. It became an immediate bestseller and sold 100,000 copies in hardback in England and all over Europe in translation. Between the ages of 77 and 97 she increased her output and wrote an incredible 400 romances as the demand for her romances was so strong all over the world. She wrote her last book at the age of 97 and it was entitled perhaps prophetically The Way to Heaven. Her books have always been immensely popular in the United States where in 1976 her current books were at numbers 1 & 2 in the B. Dalton bestsellers list, a feat never achieved before or since by any author. Barbara Cartland became a legend in her own lifetime and will be best remembered for her wonderful romantic novels so loved by her millions of readers throughout the world, who have always collected her books to read again and again, especially when they feel miserable or depressed. Her books will always be treasured for their moral message, her pure and innocent heroines, her handsome and dashing heroes, her blissful happy endings and above all for her belief that the power of love is more important than anything else in everyone’s life.
