ReviewsPraise for The Song of Hartgrove Hall "Rarely does a novel capture both my heart and mind, but Natasha Solomon''s new novel gripped me from the first chapter. Written in exquisite and razor sharp prose, The Song of Hartgrove Hall explores the bonds of family, the power of music, and the very nature of what it means to leave behind a legacy. I cannot recommend this novel strongly enough. It read like music itself and its beautiful and haunting notes lingered long after I finished the last page." --Alyson Richman, internationally bestselling author of The Lost Wife and The Garden of Letters "Packed with beautiful writing and marvelously conceived characters, The Song of Hartgrove Hall moves effortlessly between the threadbare riches of England''s postwar country house society and the discordant ambitions of modern life, all bound together by a timeless love story that will break you and heal you. Natasha Solomons is a writer after my own heart." --Beatriz Williams, author of A Hundred Summers "Natasha Solomons crafts a symphony of words in this luminous novel of a young musician on the verge of great passion. From the very beginning, I was swept away in the music of the story. Brimming with the intertwined melodies of love, loss, and regained joy, The Song of Hartgrove Hall soars." --Jessica Brockmole, author of Letters from Skye Praise for The Gallery of Vanished Husbands "Natasha Solomons scores another win with The Gallery of Vanished Husbands . . . a beautifully told story that will resonate with readers who have ever felt there was more inside of them than what was expected of them." --The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Solomons creates in Juliet a detailed character portrait of a woman who exhibits strength and poise under less than ideal conditions. Each chapter tells the story of one of Juliet''s paintings and of important events in her life, and readers will respond to the realistic and beautifully flawed characteristics assigned to her." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Solomons . . . has lavished care on every word and ensured this charming, mesmerising story is ultimately about the triumph of the human spirit . . . a warm, luscious read that brims with passion and skilfully evokes a bygone era . . . . a beautifully written tale about a woman who was left socially dead but rose again by seizing life." -- The Times (London) Praise for The House at Tyneford "Like Downton , [ The House at Tyneford ] compellingly explores the upstairs-downstairs dynamic of estate life." --Entertainment Weekly "Natasha Solomons has written a lovely, atmospheric novel full of charming characters and good, old fashioned storytelling. Fans of Downton Abbey and Kate Morton''s The Forgotten Garden will absolutely adore The House at Tyneford ." --Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of Fly Away " The House at Tyneford is an exquisite tale of love, family, suspense, and survival. Capturing with astonishing detail and realism a vanished world of desire and hope trapped beneath rigid class convention, Natasha Solomons''s stunning new novel tells the story of Elise Landau, a Jewish Austrian teenager from a family of artists, who is forced to flee her home in Vienna carrying only a guide to household management and her father''s last novel . . . Elise hides as a parlor maid in a fine English country estate, but soon she discovers that passion can be found in the most unexpected places. Already a bestseller in Britain, American readers will thrill to The House at Tyneford." --Katherine Howe, New York Times bestselling author of The House of Velvet and Glass " The House at Tyneford is a wonderful, old-fashioned novel that takes you back in time to the manor homes, aristocracy and domestic servants of England. In this setting, Natasha Solomons gives us a courageous heroine whose incredible love story will keep you in suspense until the final page." --Kathleen Grissom, author of The Kitchen House, *A USA Today New & Noteworthy Pick* "The perfect mid-winter read, especially if you're a Downton Abbey fan....This novel spans decades, and includes a great British manor house and characters....Whether you're already a fan or a newcomer, this story will capture your mind and heart."-- Washington Independent Review of Books "Solomon's reliably lush prose holds its own."-- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Part East of Eden , part Far From the Madding Crowd , The Song of Hartgrove Hall finds Solomons hitting perfect pitch in this symphony--sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, always entrancing--of life."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Packed with beautiful writing and marvelously conceived characters, The Song of Hartgrove Hall moves effortlessly between the threadbare riches of England's postwar country house society and the discordant ambitions of modern life, all bound together by a timeless love story that will break you and heal you. Natasha Solomons is a writer after my own heart."-- Beatriz Williams, author of A Hundred Summers and The Secret Life of Violet Grant "A novel of family obligations, love, betrayal, grief, joy, and musical talent that fans of Downton Abbey and Kate Morton will enjoy."-- The Marion Star "Descriptions of the verdant British countryside, the grandeur of the manse, and Fox and Edie's devotion combine in a novel as engaging as Downton Abbey and as literary as a Bront work."-- ShelfAwareness "Devotees of television's Downton Abbey will be drawn in by this novel's historical detail and emotional story line."-- Library Journal "Rarely does a novel capture both my heart and mind, but Natasha Solomon's new novel gripped me from the first chapter.

Written in exquisite and razor sharp prose, The Song of Hartgrove Hall explores the bonds of family, the power of music, and the very nature of what it means to leave behind a legacy. I cannot recommend this novel strongly enough. It read like music itself and its beautiful and haunting notes lingered long after I finished the last page."-- Alyson Richman, internationally bestselling author of The Lost Wife and The Garden of Letters "A delightful, moving, utterly believable family saga."-- The Times (UK) "Natasha Solomons crafts a symphony of words in this luminous novel of a young musician on the verge of great passion. From the very beginning, I was swept away in the music of the story. Brimming with the intertwined melodies of love, loss, and regained joy, The Song of Hartgrove Hall soars."-- Jessica Brockmole, author of Letters from Skye
