Synopsis
Gorgeous, world-famous cellist Evie Silverman is classical-lite through and through. Real musicians despise her. Her talent has been promoted way beyond its value because - apparently - everyone loves a blonde girl in lipstick who can do interesting things between her thighs. She's played for the President of the United States. She's played at No 10 Downing Street. And tonight she's playing for Royalty. But tonight she's also going to change her life. Tonight she's going to leave her husband. Tonight, for the first time in fifteen years, she's going to stand on her own two feet. For tomorrow begins her new life - starting with a trip to New York. It all too soon becomes apparent that breaking the rules - and escaping from your past - isn't what it's cracked up to be...
The blurb for this book does not give much away. It describes the opening chapters and that's it. Which is excellent because it allows you to follow Evie's journey after she splits from her husband. This is the third of Barr's books I've read and I always enjoy how she explores the darker side. In Baggage the main character flees from a socialite scandal in Britain and hides out in Australia.
This was good as a light distraction from some of the Victorian stuff I'm tackling for uni at the moment. The plot keeps you interested and is full of twists I don't want to reveal here.

I am a very bad Bookcrossing. This was promised to LindyB a few months ago and I've just got round to sending it!
