Missing Downton Abbey?

    LAS VEGAS, NV, May 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For six years Downton Abbey was one of the most beloved television series of all time. Now Meredith Allard, author of the international bestseller The Loving Husband Trilogy, has given her own twist to the classic upstairs/downstairs tale in her newest novel, When It Rained at Hembry Castle (Copperfield Press, February 2016). When It Rained at Hembry Castle is a lush historical novel about an aristocratic family, secrets that dare not be told, and the wonder of falling in love.

Did author Meredith Allard deliberately use Downton Abbey as the inspiration for When It Rained at Hembry Castle? "Not at first," Allard said. "When I fell in love with Downton Abbey, I knew I had to incorporate aspects of the upstairs/downstairs story into the Victorian novel I was writing."

IndieReader.com has praised When It Rained at Hembry Castle: "The story is exquisitely written, providing context and clear imagery of Victorian-era lifestyles and perfectly balanced descriptions of England's countryside in a way that is as colorful as it is authentic. When It Rained at Hembry Castle is a charming, sweeping historical romance combined with an element of mystery. 5 stars."
