About this title

Review:

"Oldfield's particular forte is historical fiction set during the 1890s and 1900s... this novel nicely showcases her ability to create characters". Booklist on Full Circle "Oldfield's historical novel provides an intriguing look at the culture of indulged young Brits in the heyday of the British Empire" Booklist on Summer Lightning "The author's keen observation and deft use of language make for intriguing glimpses into the many vagaries of human nature, from jealousy to fear, passion, betrayal, joy, courage, and grief" Booklist on Turning Leaves"
