Publisher's Synopsis
"The new bestseller from an award-winning novelist." - BOOKLIST Portia and Emily meet to launch their daughters on an unsuspecting Society for the London Season of 1913. Both are determined that their offspring, Phyllis and Edith, will catch the eye of their friend May's son, a future Duke. Portia is recently widowed and Emily is away from her husband, so life is bound to get interesting. Meanwhile, their arch-enemy Daisy Lanford's protegee, Sarah Hartley Lambert, is not the wild success Daisy had hoped she would be. This is largely because of the machinations of Phyllis, who, having formed an unholy alliance with Edith, is intent on spoiling the American girl's chances.
