Synopsis

Penny Vincenzi, internationally bestselling author of No Angel, has dazzled readers with her intricately crafted novels for nearly twenty years. She unleashes her signature narrative prowess once more in her latest novel, A Question of Trust. In 1950s London, Tom Knelston is charismatic, charming, with a passion for politics and reform. He is a man with ambition―and someone to watch. His wife Alice, a former nurse, shares his ideals. It seems they are the perfect match. Then, out of the blue, Tom meets an old childhood acquaintance, the beautiful and unhappily married Diana Southcott, a fashion model. In many ways, she is everything Tom fights against, but she is also irresistible and so, flirting with danger, they embark on an affair that is potentially damaging to both. And when his child becomes ill, Tom is forced to make decisions about his principles, his career, his marriage, and, most of all, his love for his child.A Question of Trust is a vintage Penny Vincenzi novel: rich in characterization, life-changing decisions, love, desire, and conflict. “Seductively readable” (The Times), it is a luscious, page-turning read about a precarious situation―both utterly compelling and hugely rewarding.

Review

“Vincenzi’s forte was delivering her doses of socio-economic realism with a large dollop of syrupy scandal. Vincenzi’s vast readership, both in the U.K. and across the pond, will savor this last book.”
- Kirkus Reviews

“The late Vincenzi demonstrates her talent for weaving a dizzying cast of characters together into a historical epic. . . . emotionally gripping.”
- Publishers Weekly

“The hallmarks of a Vincenzi novel are all here: fabulous hotels, expensive champagne, and heart-wrenching angst hidden by a stiff upper lip. Old-fashioned and over-the-top in the best way, this can be recommended to readers who like the sagas of Danielle Steel and Barbara Taylor Bradford.”
