An irresistibly witty and charming comedy of manners examining the effect of long-ago events on one woman's search for a fairytale ending in the present

Meet Dora Jerusalem, features assistant to the assistant features editor of Modern Woman, a glossy magazine whose employees are all thin, rich, and beautiful. New to London and desperate to succeed, Dora is drawn into a whirl of launches and parties where she meets a striking young man named Guy Boleyn. Follow Dora as she navigates her way through a maze of jealous colleagues, weddings that don't exactly go to plan, and a destructive family secret—all to try and find the fairytale ending she's always hoped for. Set between 1980s London, 1950s in the Shires, and a breathtaking trip to Himalayan India, this charming story is part family saga, part classic love story, and part coming-of-age tale.
