NEW YORK CITY, 1921
An impossible dream.
The war is over, the twenties are roaring, but in the depths of the city that never sleeps, Dorothy Parker is struggling to make her mark in a man's world.
A broken woman.
She's penniless, she's unemployed and her marriage is on the rocks when she starts a bridge group with three extraordinary women - but will they be able to save her from herself?
A fight for survival.
When tragedy strikes, and everything Dorothy holds dear is threatened, it's up to Peggy, Winifred and Jane to help her confront the truth before it's too late. Because the stakes may be life or death...
A new novel from the internationally bestselling author, Sex and the City meets the 1920s in this sweeping tale of love, loss and the everlasting bonds of friendship. Perfect for fans of Fiona Davis, Dinah Jefferies and Chanel Cleeton.
