Book description
Set against a vibrant sixties backdrop, this is the story of two bright
young things: Eliza, an ex-deb making a splash in the world of fashion,
and Matt, a working-class boy carving out a serious name for himself in
property. Their story begins with a love affair, closely followed by a
marriage, followed by a baby. But whilst their relationship is at first
fuelled by passion, it's not of the enduring kind, and soon what started
out with such promise descends into a harrowing divorce case and an epic
custody battle. With everything at stake for both Eliza and Matt, and
neither party willing to give up their little girl without a fight, it's
high drama in the courts. Let battle begin... 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.
