Publisher's Synopsis
As students at the prestigious Anya Sedgwick School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Alexandra Gordon, Kay Lennox, Jessica Pierce and Maria Franconi share the excitement of developing their talents under Sedgwick's caring and demanding guidance. But they part as enemies and go their separate ways. Alexandra becomes a leading set designer in New York theatre; Kay lives in Scotland and designs a successful line of clothing; Jessica, an interior designer, moves to California and Maria returns to Italy to work in her family's textile business. For each of them, the arrival of an invitation to Paris to celebrate Anya Sedgwick's eighty-fifth birthday stirs up complicated feelings. During three eventful weeks, they visit their old haunts, rekindle bonds and reawaken in each other the sense of adventure and possibility they shared so long ago. Barbara Taylor Bradford at her best.
