A novel of love, death and aristocracy in twenties London.
Consider Vivien in November 1922. She is twenty-four, and a spinster. She wears fashionably droopy clothes, but she is plain and – worse – intelligent. Fortunately, Vivien is rich, so she can bribe a man to marry her. What nobody knows is that Vivien is pregnant, and will die in childbirth in just a few months...
I’m on a roll, ditching books that can’t keep my interest, however clever they may be. I have way too many interesting ones stacked up to read.
