But when Flora Trevelyan visits with her self-absorbed parents in 1926, it’s not an escape she finds—instead, it’s a doorway into a different world, a different life, that she never knew existed.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e As the years pass, Flora embarks on a journey of discovery, from falling for three very different young men to understanding the follies of an upper class society of which she will never quite be a part to uncovering the difference between true friends and fair-weather companions. Along the way, her own life and those of her new acquaintances will be upended, and as the shadows of World War II fall over Europe, Flora will have to decide what kind of person she wants to be—and whether being sensible makes sense.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Praised by the\u003ci\u003e Daily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e as “delicious,” Mary Wesley’s sharply humorous coming-of-age story weaves a tale of an unloved, neglected child who turns into a fiercely independent woman, both an entertaining romp and an astute glimpse into British society between the two World Wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141893341424,"sku":"9781480449947","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480449947_p0.jpg?v=1769894061","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480449947","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
