Review

Everything- the plot, the luscious descriptions, the sharp and clever social satire, the precise tenor of the passions running through the story- adds up to a perfect period piece... The inevitable complications and broken hearts are seen through the witty, cosmopolitan and elegantly cynical eye of the author whose own voluptously scandalous love life was also synonymous with the Twenties...she was indisputable an acute and merciless observer. * SUNDAY TIMES *
