Dulcie is fascinated by a portrait of a little old lady that hangs in their home, and she often imagines what the woman's life must have been like.One day, Dulcie discovers a hidden compartment behind the portrait and finds a letter from the woman in the painting. The letter reveals that the woman was once a young girl just like Dulcie, and she had a secret love affair that ended tragically. Dulcie becomes obsessed with the woman's story and sets out to uncover the truth about what happened.As Dulcie delves deeper into the mystery, she begins to uncover secrets about her own family's past. She learns that her own mother had a secret love affair that ended tragically, and she starts to see parallels between the two women's lives. With the help of her aunt and a local historian, Dulcie uncovers the truth about the little old lady in the portrait and comes to terms with her own family's history.The Little Old Portrait is a poignant and beautifully written novel that explores themes of love, loss, and family secrets.
