Description

The dazzling twin daughters of the beautiful Lady Celia Lytton are born into the family's publishing empire and, at age eighteen, are beginning to take their charmed world for granted. In contrast, their adopted sister, Barty, rescued from the London slums in babyhood, is ever more aware of how she came to be where she is.

It is 1928, and the spectre of Nazi Germany is growing...soon, all three girls will find their lives irrevocably changed by a dark and dangerous war. And each must find a way of surviving, living - and even loving.
