Sin embargo, los alrededores no estan desiertos del todo, porque en Stone House, un viejo y precioso hotel sobre el acantilado, hay un grupo de huespedes muy variopinto que durante una semana en invierno disfruta de su cocina espaciosa y calida, de la chimenea de leña y de los elegantes dormitorios. Y aunque casi nadie es capaz de resistirse a los encantos del lugar, pocos son los que conocen su historia, y menos aun la historia de su amable anfitriona, Geraldine Ryan, Chicky para todo el mundo.La critica ha dicho...Un libro para guardar como un tesoro.
