Maria Merryweather becomes an orphan at age 13, upon her father's
death in 1842. She is sent to the Moonacre Manor somewhere in the west
of England, accompanied by her governess Miss Heliotrope and dog
Wiggins. There she finds herself in a world out of time. Her cousin and
guardian Sir Benjamin Merryweather is one of the "sun" Merryweathers,
and she loves him right away, as sun and moon Merryweathers do. Maria
discovers that there is an ancient mystery about the founding of the
estate.
She is aided by wonderful people and magical beasts, but it is only
by self-sacrifice and perseverance, too, that Maria is able to save
Moonacre, right the wrongs, reunite lost loves and finally bring peace
to the valley.
I really enjoyed your book review, Vicky. You really piqued my interest with your introduction of the main characters, and described just enough of the storyline to make me want to find out more... I think I might have to read this!
