Book ID/图书代码： 00200011B47121
English Summary/英文概要： A love affair…
Between Matt Shaw, self-made property tycoon and Eliza Clark, dazzling
fashion editor and one-time Deb of the Year. Their story spans sixties London,
the extravagance of Milan and the glamour of New York, but at its core is
Summercourt, the lovely decaying country house that has been in Eliza’s
family for generations, and a huge trouble in itself.
A marriage…
Passionate, and difficult, the conflicts increased by social as well as professional
pressures, Matt and Eliza’s lives become irrevocably divided and entwined
with others: Jeremy Northcott, charming, successful advertising man; the
beautiful, flamboyant Italian fashion icon, Mariella Crespi; Matt’s sister
Scarlett, with her own complex love affairs. And then there is Louise, Matt’s
tough and sassy business partner, as successful as him and fighting for
her own future.
A child…
Emmie, adored, precocious, and ultimately the victim of her parents’ doomed
marriage, she both holds them together and drives them apart.
The decision..
Which is agonizing and desperate, and taken in the divorce courts – where
truths will be told, secrets revealed and reputations shattered.
And at the heart of it all lies the fate of a little girl...
