Travel with Susan as she braves the North Atlantic ... and visits the homes and gardens of her literary and artistic heroes including Beatrix Potter, Vanessa Bell and Jane Austen. With lots of history, the Queen's Jubilee, and a touching love story to kick things off, it's a perfect book for all Downton Abbey Anglophiles and armchair travelers.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

The first time I met my darling Joe we discovered we both had the same dream - of taking a voyage to England on an ocean liner. To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we did just that, and crossed the Atlantic on the Queen Mary 2 and spent two months wandering the English countryside. I kept a diary of the journey and when we returned home to Martha's Vineyard, I put it all together in this handwritten book. A FINE R0MANCE begins with the story of how Joe and I found each other and fell in love. Then we're off - on our quest for serendipity and discovery. Join us as we walk ancient footpaths over hill and dale, along winding hedgerows to castles, cottages, romantic gardens, tea rooms, antique stores and pubs. We'll take you through historic homes, such as Jane Austen's house and Beatrix Potter's Hill Top Farm; from Kent to the Yorkshire Dales to the Cotswolds and more. You'll find recipes, maps and travel tips. As you're about to see, A FINE R0MANCE is proof-positive that dreams really do come true.
