The epic and long-awaited new romance from the author of Letters to the Lost, winner of the RNA Award.

Selina Lennox is a Bright Young Thing. Her life is a whirl of parties and drinking, pursued by the press and staying just the right side of scandal. Lawrence Weston is a penniless painter who stumbles into Selina's orbit one night and can never let her go. Spanning two decades and a seismic shift in British history as World War II approaches, this is an epic novel of passion, heartache and loss.

What a beautifully written and read book. I was so immersed in the story I cried at the end. I was fully involved and submerged in the story.
Fantastic!

Brilliant

Beautifully written and performed. I recommend this book often. I adore it! Iona Grey is easily my favourite author. Her books are quite simply outstanding.

Heartbreaking, but so beautiful.

Nearly gave up on this after several attempts as it just seemed to plod on and on … about two thirds in it got interesting and then quite a sad ending. Nothing really original but an ok read. Seem to have read a lot of similar books recently. Also narration is very very quiet almost like the narrator is whispering! Listening in the car I had to strain to hear, even at full volume.

Slow burn

I had great expectations on reading the reviews for this book, but how disappointed I was. Maybe I can't do romances, but this seemed predictable, contrived and the voice of the boyfriend was awful.

Could not finish this without great pain.
