دانلود رمان انگلیسی “عشق یک دختر”

Standing alone by the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the grand front reception room of Cuthford Manor, a flute of champagne in her hand, Marlene Boulter watched as her brother and his new bride quietly slipped away from the party, despite it still being in full swing. Officially it was a wake, but it had turned out to be much more of a colourful celebration of life and love – not only because that was what Ida Boulter had demanded of her children for her send-off, but also because her son Danny and his love had turned up out of the blue and announced that they had just returned from Gretna Green and were now man and wife. There had, naturally, been much excitement, especially when they had arrived in a beautiful, brightly painted horse-drawn Romany Gypsy caravan. Marlene had thought it ‘amazingly romantic’ and told them so. She was over the moon that her older brother had been able to have his happy ever after with Lucy Stanton-Leigh. Something that had seemed highly improbable before the pair had eloped, for Lucy’s parents would never in a million years have given permission for their daughter to marry Danny Boulter, who, despite living in one of County Durham’s most splendid and certainly most unusual manor houses, with its castellated turrets and tapered towers, was still, at the end of the day, the son of a coalminer. A workingclass boy from the shipbuilding town of Sunderland, he had only ended up at the manor because their elder sibling, Angie, had married the heir.
