For Bea, business became an opiate to dull the pain of William's failure as a husb (illustrator). Book Club Edition. Little damage to back cover of book, bottom right side.From the first time she set eyes on Overton House and on its brilliantly handsome young master, William Overton, Beatrice Bonington was in thrall. In fact, it was sometimes difficult for her to distinguish which one she had fallen in love with first. But though the scion of a distinguished English family might be bought, neither he nor his peers could be forced to accept the daughter of a tradesman, despite the burgeoning success of Bonnington's Emporium in the Bayswater Road, the rival-nay, the equal-of Selfridge's and Liberty's. Wed her he might, but love her William could not seem to do. As he pursued his own pleasures more openly- frequent trips abroad, liaisons with the reigning beauties of the day- Beatrice sought refuge at Bonnington's. There she found the sense of importance that eluded her among the haughty aristocrats who attended her glittering balls at Overton House and mocked her maliciously behind their fans. There "Queen Bea" wielded a real and heady power to build at Bonnington's an empire that was an opulent reflection in microcosm of that other monarch, Victoria's far-flung domain. For Bea, business became an opiate to dull the pain of William's failure as a husband and flight from her bed. Moving from the opening of the nineteenth century to the eve of World War II, Speak To Me Of Love is consistently dramatic, full of conflict, and immensely readable, with an unforgettable heroine-as brilliantly ruthless in business as she is headlong and impulsive in love.
