From Publishers Weekly
The British have coined a term for the kind of novels Vincenzi writes: bonkbusters. Her most recent one to appear stateside is a prime example: fast-paced, well-written and full of sex. It's set in 1930s London, where the very rich drink champagne with Edward VIII and the Mountbattens, while the poor have too many babies, nonexistent health care and can only afford to follow the antics of their royal family on the radio. Cassia Tallow, trained as a doctor but playing wife and mother when we first meet her, inherits a fortune from her glamorous godmother. The windfall thrusts Cassia back into a world of high society, high fashion and old lovers. It also gives her the opportunity to go back to practicing medicine and ministering to working-class women, which her husband has prevented her from doing. But when Cassia begins to suspect that the money may not be rightfully hers, she goes to dangerous lengths to find the truth. Once again, Vincenzi delivers grade-A entertainment. (Oct.)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Cassia Fallon has been married to her doctor husband for seven years when her godmother leaves her half a million pounds; at that time 1935, it's a vast fortune.Suddenly, for the first time in her life, she's able to do exactly what she wants; she starts to question her marriage, her past, present and future. And then more sinister questions arise about the origins of the legacy, but by now the legacy, part benign influence, part brutal force, is an all powerful entity all of its own - and one that Cassia cannot resist. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR000849157
