Rose Aubrey is one of a family of four children. Their father, Piers, is the disgraced son of an Irish landowning family, a violent, noble and quite unscrupulous leader of popular causes. His Scottish wife, Clare, is an artist, a tower of strength, fanatically devoted to a musical future for her daughters. This is the story of their life in south London, a life threatened by Piers's streak of tragic folly which keeps them on the verge of financial ruin and social disgrace . . .


Planning to read this and then release

Decided I'm probably not going to get round to reading this - its not my usual sort of book and I've many others "to be read" so marking it as available and may release soon.

We are moving and I have to clear out some of my books, so this is off on a journey to who knows where, via the Charity shop.
