Second in the Spoils of Time trilogy. “Vincenzi continues the lush multigenerational and transatlantic family saga she began in the bestselling No Angel.” —BooklistThe dazzling Lytton twins, Adele and Venetia, are born into the great Lytton publishing empire. In 1928, on their eighteenth birthday, they are rich and admired, with a confidence verging on arrogance. But the specter of Nazi Germany is growing . . . Gradually their privileged world darkens in unimaginable ways—but it is not just the twins whose lives have been irrevocably changed. Barty Miller, rescued from the London slums in babyhood by Celia Lytton, is clever, ambitious, and a complete contrast to the twins—and she faces temptation of the most unexpected kind . . . “As family secrets and the Nazis both threaten to crush the house of Lytton, Vincenzi tightens her grip on readers, churning out surprising twists that not only resolve current conflicts but promise delicious future crises.” —Publishers WeeklyPraise for Penny Vincenzi“The doyenne of the modern blockbuster.” —Glamour“Soap opera? You bet—but with her well-drawn characters and engaging style, Vincenzi keeps things humming.” —People“Nobody writes smart, page-turning commercial women’s fiction like Vincenzi.” —USA Today“Will draw you in against your better judgment and keep you awake reading all night.” —The Boston Globe“Vincenzi does it again with another captivating and entertaining family saga that combines power, riches, lies, and greed . . . For fans of Barbara Taylor Bradford and Danielle Steel.” —Library Journal Read more
