Product Description

The French Riviera is the setting for this absorbing tale of family intrigue, scandal and romance, against the glamorous background of 1930s artists and aristocracy. Polly Smith is struggling to make a living as an artist when her friend and patron, Oliver, invites her to his father's house in the South of France. Thrilled to escape cold, wet London, Polly asks for her birth certificate to get a passport. Her world changes. Her mother is in fact her aunt; her father is unknown; even her name isn't right. Fleeing to the Riviera, Polly finds the serenity and sunshine bring her painting to life as never before. But all is not well in the grand house. Oliver's father was forced to leave England in a cloud of scandal and despite the sophisticated, cosmopolitan crowd of friends with which he has surrounded himself, his past is about to catch up with him. Yet even though Polly will find herself at the centre of a web of deception, her own future begins to take on a new and fascinating shape!

3.0 out of 5 stars Has promise, 12 Nov 2008
By Badgergirl "hilary24" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Terribly predictable sadly, I skipped through the last twenty pages as I thought I knew what was going to happen and was proved right. Not a bad read generally. I read her first and second book, skipped the third as I didn't like the sound of it and thought I would give this one a shot. Again - see my review of her second book - a glaring typo 20 pages in! HarperCollins are a respected publisher and I am amazed that whoever edited it could miss this. Also, a bad spelling error towards the end. Maybe I am being picky because my job involves copyediting but...Also, the description on the back of the book is not how the events unfold. Her first book (Frozen Lake) was v good so start there
