A widowed matriarch’s well-to-do English family is rocked by her plan to remarry in this “page-turner” from the bestselling author of No Angel (Publishers Weekly).
Rescued from the slums as a baby by Celia Lytton and now living in New York, Barty Miller heads more than half of the Lyttons publishing house. But as they fall on bad times in the years after World War II, the family is worried that Barty will make a business decision that would be devastating to them. But will she? As events unfold, long-buried secrets concerning the whole family are revealed—and Celia makes a shocking announcement that she is leaving the company and getting remarried—shaking the very foundations of the Lyttons’ world . . .
“Vincenzi writes . . . fast-paced novels with plots and subplots so deftly manipulated that it’s impossible to start reading one and still lead a productive life.” —The Washington Post
