First published 2001
Linda Radlett wants more than her aristocratic family's stifled expectations. Trapped in a suffocating marriage to a tedious businessman, she abandons convention and pursues passionate affairs across Europe. Her cousin Polly Hampton mirrors this rebellion, navigating her own romantic landscape with sharp wit and defiance. As World War II approaches, their search for authentic connection becomes increasingly desperate—and dangerous. Each woman risks everything to claim her own definition of love against the rigid backdrop of British upper-class society.
