Synopsis
A birthday to remember - At the beautiful manor-house where she has lived for many years, Charlotte Chayter prepares for her 80th birthday party, an occasion that sees her family and friends gather to celebrate her long and eventful life. It should be a memorable day, yet Charlotte is secretly dreading it, terribly aware that, beneath the veneer of 1950s middle-class pretensions and respectability, there are secrets and divisions which could tear her family apart . . .

Review
Preparations are in place for Charlotte Chayter's eightieth birthday party. She does not want all the fuss, but her daughter, Glenda, has made all the arrangements befitting the lady of the local manor house. Three of her four children still live in the neighborhood and will be there as well as her granddaughter Elvira, whom she has not seen in 10 years. Elvira was a wild child who lived with Charlotte when not at boarding school, instead of with her beautiful jet-setting mother. Charlotte is looking forward to seeing her prodigal granddaughter, while the rest of the family fumes over the fact that Elvira's mother will not attend. Elvira, 26, has her own reason for returning, and faces the family function with apprehension as she is not the hoyden they think she is. Charlotte isn't the least bit worried about Elvira; it's her own children and the problems and potential scandal surrounding them that concerns her. Hylton offers a glimpse behind the facade of the staid English gentry, steadily drawing readers into her rich family saga. --Booklist, 15th September 2009
