This is Vincenzi’s third novel and certainly one of her best. It opens with the suicide of a well-loved actor in the early 70s and we’re quickly told that revelations in a forthcoming book about him may be to blame. We’re then thrust back to a war time romance between a young over-sexed British girl and a handsome GI that results in the birth of a little girl who’s promptly put up for adoption. What happens to this little girl, raised in America by her father, and her mother’s other family who know nothing of their illegitimate sister is scandalously gripping and exciting.
