Series: Jemima Shore. Was it going to be like the song then, his song, cool, oh so coo-ool repentance?' The person picked up a long-stemmed flower and pretended to use it as a microphone: then the voice crooned the last four words slowly, mockingly, gloatingly. Was that what you thought - that you would come back, come back here to beautiful Lark, and get away with it, did you expect that?
This remarkable book is much more than a biographical selection.
Celebrated actress Christabel Cartwright trades her country house, its staff of servants, and her husband for a reckless affair. This remarkable book is much more than a biographical selection.
