Barbara Trapido is a brilliant novelist who has been delighting British readers for more than a decade. Here, the Whitbread Award-winning author of Brother of the More Famous Jack weaves a funny, sexy, and poignant story that begins with the death of a young woman and blossoms into an Austen-esque comedy of manners that explores the connections between friends, lovers, and families. With a switchback plot that shifts from Scotland to Rome, from London to the Cotswolds, Barbara Trapido's fifth novel is elegant, surprising, and peopled with wholly original characters whose extraordinary fates are at once uniquely hilarious and immensely touching.
