With her waves of auburn hair and her piercing green eyes, Kit knows that her sister's place on the social scene is guaranteed regardless of her dress, and as the door to a life of parties and eligible young men opens for Lily, Kit must make do with tiptoeing around the gallery of Chalfont, eavesdropping on the conversations of the grown-ups.

Years later, the aftershock of events will be felt by a new generation . . .

This book is fabulous! It was a completely random shelf grab and was very very enjoyable, highly recommended and I‘m surprised it‘s not popular!
