'We are all locked to the Wheel of Fortune, and some of us have a rougher ride than others' A good place to start is Robert Godwin's passion for Ginevra, his cousin, a passion which began at the start of the century at his family house, Oxmoon, as the orchestra played 'The Blue Danube' and they danced under the glittering chandeliers ... For fifty years, from 1913 to the 1960s, the Godwin family are sucked into a cycle of passion, madness and death, and do battle with the greatest illusion of them all ... the truth.
