by Molly Keane (Author)
It is 1933. Jessica and Jane have been living together for six months. They are devoted friends - or are they? Jessica loves her friend with the cruelty of total possessiveness: Jane is rich and silly and drinks rather too many brandy and sodas. Their friend Sylvester regrets that she should be 'loved and bullied and perhaps even murdered by that frightful Jessica', but decides it's none of his business. When the Irish gentleman George Playfair meets Jane however, he thinks otherwise: he entices Jane to Ireland where the battle for her devotion begins.
