This anthology has three stories set in the same country house over a span of ~70 years.

While not my favorite shorts out these authors, it's hard to go wrong with these particular writers. I'm not a huge fan of the lovers reunited trope, so while I can't claim to love the anthology, I still ended up enjoying the stories.
