She eagerly swaps life as an impoverished housekeeper for running her own team of staff.<\/p>\n But Sophy quickly realises the challenge on her hands – the house is decrepit and its eccentric inhabitants are a nightmare. And once it is discovered that Winter’s End played host to a young Shakespeare, the village of Sticklepond becomes curious about Sophy’s plans, especially charming Jack Lewis.
