Cover artwork Compact Vanities by Erte. ; Virago Modern Classics; 256 pages; Behind its rich veneer, the estate of Temple Alice is a crumbling fortress, from which the aristocratic St Charles family keep the realities of life at bay. Aroon, the unlovely daughter of the house, silently longs for love and approval, which she certainly does not receive from her elegant, icy mother. And though her handsome father is fond of her, his passion is for the thrill of the chase with high-bred ladies and innocent chamber maids equally fair game. Sinking into a decaying grace, the family's adherence to the unyielding codes of "good behaviour" is both their salvation and their curse. 5 X 0.5 X 7.75 inches.

I do know how to behave - believe me, because I know. I have always known...'
Behind the gates of Temple Alice the aristocratic Anglo-Irish St Charles family sinks into a state of decaying grace. To Aroon St Charles, large and unlovely daughter of the house, the fierce forces of sex, money, jealousy and love seem locked out by the ritual patterns of good behaviour. But crumbling codes of conduct cannot hope to save the members of the St Charles family from their own unruly and inadmissible desires. This elegant and allusive novel established Molly Keane as the natural successor to Jean Rhys.
