About a book that I haven't found again. (GRAMMAR, TEST1)

In London, there is a girl, her name is Noelle and she has a mother, who is called Désirée.

Daisy Ray is the true name of Désirée. She was a young girl who lived in a farm located in an unknown place (at least is unknown by London people) with her strict parents. She had a dream and never forgot it and went to London because she wanted to be a famous actress and singer for working in musical plays. She had a daughter, Noelle, but she has never told her who her father is. Noelle does not need a father. She relies on with Charlie and Robert, the best friends of her mother, and Désirée is the best person in the world.

Every day, Noelle waits for Désirée until the evening. Usually her mother arrives very weary, but when she sees the shining face of her daughter, she cannot feel tired and begins to tell her all the things that she has done during the day. Some days, when Robert and Charlie go to their house, Désirée talks with them until the early morning while they drink a martini or a glass of milk.

Noelle does not know anybody who does not love Désirée and, obviously, there is no person who loves Désirée more than her.

Noelle grew up with the fame of her mother.

When she has 17, the real story begins. She meets a young boy, Roderick, who is the son of Charlie and the love chemistry starts to exist between them. At the same time, Lisa appears in her life: she has been crushed by Désirée, who decides to take care of her until she is recovered. Then, Lisa begins to live with Noelle and Desirée. But, who is really Lisa? She is an unknown actress, but that is not suspicious YET.

Lisa obtains a substitute role in the musical play of Désirée when her uncle is cure of the accident. Suddenly, a weird stomachache attack to Désirée. For many days, this woman suffers of extreme pain and, finally, she dies.

Noelle is devastated and Charlie invites her to move on to his house. Is there where the real love between her and Roderick is strengthened. She is in love with him and they make plans for getting married as soon as possible. When Charlie hears of this engagement, he requires their presences for telling them a horrible new: he is the true father of Noelle so, she cannot marry with Roderick because he is her brother.

All of this happens in the first middle of the book. Its name is “Daughter of Deceit” by Victoria Holt. I read it when I was 12 and it became my favourite book. I have been looking for it in every library, old-books stores and nobody knows anything about that book. I have searched in the Internet (yes, I know, it could be ilegal, but I think that I really need it) and the book doesn’t appear!

So, wish me lucky. Someday I’m going to find it.
