Looking for Book Title (Very Old Book)

mountash · 06-15-2010, 10:24 AM

I read this book about 40 years ago as a young woman, and loved it. It is about a young woman that goes to live with her guardian. (I cannot remember the circumstances, but assume her parents died.) She was probably around 17 - 19 at the time. This would have taken place back when the age of majority was not till 21 years old.

Her guardian had two younger brothers. (Although my mom thinks it is only one younger brother...) They live in a large home, and each brother has their own floor. I remember one has fascinating collections from all over the world.

In the end she falls in love with the youngest brother. That is all I can remember.

Thank you for your help,
Janet
