Something Dangerous
Something Dangerous | Penny Vincenzi
5 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
Something Dangerous is a riveting drama about an embattled dynasty, and a passionate, multi-layered tale of love and politics. The dazzling Lytton twins, Adele and Venetia, are born into the great Lytton publishing empire. In 1928, on their eighteenth birthday, they are rich and admired, with a confidence verging on arrogance. But the specter of Nazi Germany is growing…Gradually their privileged world darkens in unimaginable ways—but it is not just the twins whose lives have been irrevocably changed. Barty Miller, rescued from the London slums in babyhood by Celia Lytton, is clever, ambitious, and a complete contrast to the twins—and she faces temptation of the most unexpected kind…

This is the second book in the Spoils of Time series. Really great read. A serious "Downton Abbey" feel to this series, with Lady Celia being such a dynamic and strong character.
In this second book, set in the war-time, the family is put through many trials and tribulations.

The second book in the trilogy about the large Lytton family is soapy fun even if it feels like it took forever to read.

Nute I haven‘t come across this author in a very long time. Thanks for reminding me of this trilogy. I remember getting lost in her ‘big‘ novels. 6y

800+ pages of soapy family saga in a realistic historical context.

Rather predictable plot, too often characters were annoying, but still - it is an enjoyable easy read.

This #shelfie is of my newest shelves. My boss bought these as part of my Christmas present to put on my new to me desk. This picture was actually taken the day I received them. There are more books crammed on them now. #riotgrams
