ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR...

Portia and Emily meet to launch their daughters on an unsuspecting Society for the London Season. Both are determined that their offspring, Phyllis and Edith, will catch the eye of their friend May's son, a future Duke.

Meanwhile, their arch-enemy Daisy Lanford, fallen on hard times due to his own extravagance and penchant for lovers, is busy launching American heiresses. However, Phyllis, having formed an unholy alliance with Edith, is intent on spoiling the American girl's chances.

As always, the Season is fraught with dangers for both the young and the middle-aged, while the old observe, knowing it has all gone on before.

It will be a minor miracle if all three girls find husbands before the end of the Season, and their mothers renewed happiness...

Reviews

Her imagination is thoroughly original.

—— DAILY MAIL

A fitting sequel to The Chestnut Tree.

—— GOOD BOOK GUIDE

Charlotte Bingham writes with her usual flair...

—— HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

Anne Enright has all she needs in terms of imagination and technique and she's a tremendous phrase maker

—— Adam Mars-Jones , Observer

Enright ambushes as memory does, drawing you into an event and then questioning its reality

—— Sunday Telegraph

At a time when everyone is mirroring everyone else, Enright's style of writing remains singular and instantly identifiable

—— Irish Independent

This is at once an exciting and an intelligent novel

—— Truth Magazine

A colourful story colourfully told

—— Northern Daily Record

Fondly and delicately pieces back together what the deconstructors put asunder

—— Observer

Displaying a playful exuberance wonderfully at odds with the dry, jargon-strewn tradition of academic criticism, this deft, slender volume analyses how novelists pull rabbits out of hats

—— The Economist
