Another great plot line about a married woman inheriting a fortune and how she suddenly see’s opportunities she can now take advantage of. This story is made all the more interesting by being set in the 1920’s and 30’s when women were just getting the chance to be claim their independence. A great host of characters and an absorbing read.

But where did her legacy really come from. and why? Too soon the windfall has become a corrupting force. One that Cassia cannot resist...

Fellow novelist SOPHIE KING on PENNY VINCENZI

I met Penny during my time as a journalist and thought she was wonderful. She's given me advice over the years as well as a quote for my own covers.  Penny's books have a wide cast of characters so there's something for most of us. She's also got a gift for creating settings so the smells and colours leap out of the pages.
