Heiresses

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Her Frozen Heart. They were born to the scent of success. Now they stand to lose it all ...

Fame, fashion and scandal, the Trevellyan heiresses are the height of success, glamour and style.

But when it comes to ...

... WEALTH: Jemima's indulgent lifestyle knows no limits; Tara's one purpose in life, no matter the sacrifice, is to be financially independent of her family and husband; and Poppy wants to escape its trappings without losing the comfort their family money brings.

... LUST: Jemima's obsession relieves the boredom of her marriage; while Tara's seemingly 'perfect' life doesn't allow for such indulgences; and Poppy, spoiled by attention and love throughout her life, has yet to expose herself to the thrill of really living and loving dangerously.

... FAMILY: it's all they've ever known, and now the legacy of their parents, a vast and ailing perfume empire, has been left in their trust. But will they be able to turn their passion into profit? And in making a fresh start, can they face their family's past?

Reviews

This is such a good novel that I'm still shaking thinking about it... A novel not to be recommended to people but to be pressed on them, urgently

—— Nicholas Lezard , Guardian

Truly magnificent...I implore you now, not to let it pass you by

—— Glasgow Herald

A novel written with sympathy and with restraint, and in a prose thatt is almost poetically direct and sure... If you do not read Time Will Darken It you will have missed something rare

What elevates The Making of Henry..is the way it talks about love. That, and being funny

This is brilliantly, biliously funny. It is also painfully, movingly sad...Expansive and compassionate... Sharp and hilarious, this latest novel shows Jacobson at his best

—— Observer

A story of modern love that will have readers laughing and sighing with recognition... A wry, insightful, thoroughly enjoyable tale about how men and women choose their demons and their lovers, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for both

—— Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Delightful... Her characters are, as always, wonderfully imperfect

—— New York Review of Books
