Synopsis

Riveting social drama unfolds around a late‑evening dinner party in Chester-Square, where elegance masks tension, and private turmoil rises to the surface.

In this extract, a stylish host navigates delicate conversations at a table of critics, dreamers, and bold minds. As conversations drift between art, politics, and faith, a quiet, gripping undercurrent centers on Zina Newbolt’s care for her ailing father and the darker thoughts that haunt her in the long watches of the night. The scene moves from refined wit to the weight of moral choice, showing how public polish can hide private fear and desire.

What you’ll experience
  • A vivid portrait of social grace and its fragility in a refined circle
  • A tense, intimate look at caregiving, loyalty, and the pull of forbidden thoughts
  • Rich, characterful exchanges about art, culture, and belief
  • A mood of psychological suspense that lingers beyond the party
Ideal for readers of classic psychological fiction, social drama, and novels that explore inner life against a backdrop of high society.
