Review
"Psychologically reminiscent of John Cheever's haunting short story 'The Swimmer.' Dilke's mastery of manipulating chronology for optimum emotional effect is breathtaking." --The Washington Post
"Wonderfully picturesque . . . deliciously over-the-top." --The New York Times
"[Dilke] has a wonderful eye for telling details of place and person and a brisk way of summing up a character in a line." --The Boston Globe
"Marvelous novel . . . really first class. Authentic and sharp, every word rings true." --Rosamunde Pilcher, author of The Shell Seekers, September, and Coming Home
"Exquisitely written . . . a lovely, absorbing story." --Elizabeth Buchan, author of Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman
"[A] blend of unblinking candor and wry compassion." --James Lipton, creator and host of Inside the Actors Studio and author of An Exaltation of Larks

Beautiful eighteen-year-old Alice is marrying the heir to another fortune and her sister Eve has won a place at Oxford. But their charmed lives are not all they seem. Alice is having an affair with a handsome but disreputable lover. Her father is a philanderer whose chronic infidelity pushes his wife Felicity into the arms of another man. And Eve's academic future is cut short by an act of betrayal. Nearly forty years later, Felicity remembers that long-ago wedding day when their lives changed forever." Worldcat.
