THE Chandler family live in a beautiful country estate.

Although very rich and well in with the aristocracy, things are not what they seem. Alice, in love with an unsuitable admirer, is marrying into another great house.

And her father has been philandering for years. Her mother also has an affair and her sister, Eve, falls out of favour with the family after getting herself involved in a secret with her sister.

This is a book about a family who keep up appearances and then have to face the truth. A family who are sometimes funny, yet intriguing and mysterious.
