‘Jill Dawson’s fictional take on the affair quietly but firmly redresses the balance as she makes her heroine, Mandy River, a warm, intelligent and life-filled delight who is not a victim but a woman who clear-sightedly sees a family beset by problems and Lord Morven for exactly who he is. Conjuring a world of class lines and monied entitlement all told by a friend of Mandy’s, this is a carefully and beautifully written book that’ll have you hooked.’
