Description
From the glamour of 1920s London to a society in flux during the post-war years, TV historian Kate Williams paints a sweeping, heart-breaking portrait of a family – and a young woman - on the brink of change.
In the aftermath of the Great War, the de Witt family are struggling to piece together the shattered fragments of their lives.
Rudolf and his wife Verena, still reeling from the loss of their second son, don't know how to function in the post-war world. Stoneythorpe Hall has become an empty shell with no servants to ensure its upkeep.
Celia, the de Witt's youngest daughter, is still desperate to spread her wings and see more of the world. To escape Stoneythorpe and the painful secrets that lie there, she moves to London and embraces life and love in the Roaring Twenties.
For fans of DOWNTON ABBEY and ATONEMENT - a compelling historical novel from the author of THE STORMS OF WAR.
