The first book in the dramatic new saga from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author

Holding the letter in trembling hands, Daisy’s future crumbled before her – the words engraved on her heart forever.

The village of Little Creek, the long winter of 1867

The first flakes of snow are falling when Daisy Marshall, secretly engaged to her master's son, finds herself jilted at the altar.

Heartbroken, Daisy flees to the small village of Little Creek, nestled on the coast of Essex. There she is warmly welcomed – but the village is poverty-stricken, suffering under a cruel Lord of the manor. And when cholera hits, the villagers are truly in dire straits.

Determined to help, Daisy makes new friends in earnest doctor Nicholas and dashing smuggler Jay – but also dangerous new enemies, who threaten to destroy everything she’s built.

Can Daisy save the village and find happiness in time for Christmas?

Dilly Court's book 'Dolly’s Dream' was a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-01-30.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas wedding
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020
I have found some books by this author too simplistic but this one is well described, carefully wound and broad in scope. A young woman leaves her governess job to return to her family in a village but the level of rural poverty is high. A better off family or two, like the doctors, live in old houses that are poorly maintained, because their income level out here is not sufficient to cover renovations.

I like particularly that this story shows us the new, emerging middle class. We also get practical considerations like disease and nursing training. And the romance is present but not the main aim of our heroine's life.

I read this e-ARC from Net Galley and Fresh Fiction. This is an unbiased review.

I don’t understand why this author comes so highly recommended. The villains are one dimensional and cartoonish. I couldn’t get myself to care enough about the heroine of the story. I ploughed on hoping somehow it would get better. I thought it would when she went back to London to become a nurse and for a while I was beginning to enjoy the book but then it all fell apart on me again. I guess other people love her books but I’m not one of them.

I bought the last book of the village secrets trilogy for Christmas and then realised it was a trilogy, so went out and bought the other two books as something of an impulse purchase. So far I am not regretting it one bit. I think the story so far (I am about 10 chapters in) is fast paced, interesting and fairly easy to follow. Already I am warming to characters and disliking characters and generally being whisked away to a different world every time I open the book. Because I’m not finished I haven’t given it 5 stars, but if the book continues like this I may increase my rating. Thanks Dilly Court!!
