Nicholas Cobleigh and Jane come from families that seem to belong to different worlds. His distinguished background brings money, status and its own emotional damage, while her intelligence and humour have developed amid instability and difficult relationships. Together they build a life neither could have created alone, moving through ambition, celebrity, family and material success. Yet the outward appearance of achievement cannot protect them from personal tragedy or the tensions carried forward from earlier generations. Susan Isaacs follows the couple and the wide circle connected to them in a novel that combines social observation with an intimate account of marriage. Wit and sympathy accompany a story about inherited burdens, missed opportunities and the complicated ties that hold people together.
