Book description
Celia Lytton, strong-willed, tough and courageous, moves through life
making difficult and often dangerous decisions - with the most
far-reaching consequences for everyone. For her husband, Oliver, head of
the great family publishing house of Lyttons; for Sylvia Miller, whose
life of relentless poverty is transformed by Celia's intrusion; for
Oliver's daunting elder sister, who is not all she appears to be; and
for Sebastian Brooke, with whom Celia makes the most dangerous decision
of all. Penny Vincenzi is one of the UK's best-loved and most popular
authors. Since her first novel, Old Sins, was published in 1989, she has
written fourteen bestselling novels, most recently The Best of Times and
the number one bestseller An Absolute Scandal.
Her first 'proper' job was at the Harrods Library, aged sixteen, after
which she went to secretarial college. She joined the Mirror and later
became a journalist, writing for The Times, the Daily Mail and
Cosmopolitan amongst many others, before turning to fiction. Several
years later, over seven million copies of Penny's books have been sold
worldwide and she is universally held to be the 'doyenne of the modern
blockbuster' (Glamour).
Penny Vincenzi has four daughters, and divides her time between London
and Gower, South Wales.
