Publisher's Summary

A searing portrait of wealthy living, and the highs - and lows - that come with it in a dazzling novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Penny Vincenzi. Perfect for any reader of Kate Morton, Elizabeth Buchan or Harriet Evans.

There's nothing like the contentment and security that money can bring. That's how it is for Lucinda, Elizabeth and Flora, living the risk-free dream in the glittering eighties. Houses, holidays, happiness - everything is there for the taking.

The financial slide comes crashing into their lives with a vengeance, and everything they've built up so carefully dissolves into a pool of hopelessness, taking self-respect and relationships with it. Now, the secrets will out and within a year, someone will be dead.

Critic Reviews

"Buy on a Friday, get home, turn off the phone and emerge on Monday replete with a tale well told. Guilty pleasures? We certainly all have them and this is better than most." ( Daily Express)

Dragged on a bit

My first Penny Vincenzi, found the story dragged and was repetitive. The reader couldn’t voice men well. It kept me company for 32 hrs but irritated me too.

Classic Penny Vincenzi

Great for fans or for a first introduction - this saga kept me listening happily for the full 32 hours. Great entertainment in the chick lit/ saga category.
