Description
Margaret Kennedy caught just the taste of the time, mixing a stolid domestic Englishness with 'Continental' bohemians — Irish Times
William and Emily Crowne seem to have it all — they live a life of privilege and glamour in London, the children of a successful poet, attractive, happy, largely blind to the world around them. But life takes an unexpected turn when their mother dies, and their father is caught up in the most scandalous and notorious of criminal trials.
Suddenly effectively orphans, their aunt takes them in, and they grow up alongside their cousins, Trevor and Charlotte. But tensions and jealousies are rife between the four, and soon the Crowne children find that their father's notoriety will follow them into their adult lives, with devastating consequences.

Anita Brookner praises Kennedy as both a romantic and an anarchist, knowing men and women well. The Washington Post noted her past popularity, while the Cambridge Guide to Literature in English highlights her poised style, wit, and characterisation. The Irish Times commends her ability to capture the spirit of the era by blending domestic Englishness with Continental bohemian elements.

About the Author
Margaret Kennedy was born in London in 1896 and read History at Somerville College, Oxford in 1915 (alongside Winifred Holtby and Vera Brittain) where she began writing. In 1924, Kennedy's second novel The Constant Nymph became a worldwide bestseller which she adapted into a hit West End play starring Noel Coward (three different star-studded film versions followed). Described as 'superb' by Elizabeth Bowen, Kennedy wrote fifteen further prize-winning novels including The Feast in 1950, as well as literary criticism and a biography of Jane Austen. She died in 1967.
