'Belinda seems destined for happiness. She is befriended by the odd but warm-hearted old lady who takes her as a companion; her adored brother gets engaged to Nikki, a captivating young actress, while she herself is trembling on the brink of romance with a world-famous racing driver, Septimus Moreland. Then Septimus drives her brother home after they have all been celebrating the engagement in champagne and the car crashes. Septimus is slightly hurt, her brother is dead. Bitter and furious at Septimus's recklessness, Belinda is swept into a promise to marry a wealthy playboy, and refuses to listen to Septimus when he tries to tell her - what? So Septimus turns back to his racing, with, as mechanic, a young woman who looks as if she knew more about cocktails than car-engines, while Nikki slowly forgets the tragedy in the absorption of her stage career. Belinda's fascinating love-story moves against the background of a gay sophisticated world; of a theatrical first night, a visit to the French Riviera and a breathtakingly thrilling Grand Prix motor-race. It is written with all the skill of this well-known author's earlier romances.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Illustrator: Castle, Tony. Quantity Available: 1.
