Benji's actions finally prompt Vanessa to leave Cumbria and seek a life in London. She stays at Hill Street with the ever persistent Ellis, who worships her. Needing to care for someone, with her father and Elizabeth gone and no-one to advise her, Vanessa thinks of the contribution she could make to the world if were she married to Ellis.
At the most glittering and sophisticated ball she has attended, the 40-year-old financier asks for her hand a third time....
Members Reviews:
A huge sprawling novel well worth reading despite its patches of purple prose.
Even though conciseness and tight form weren't Hugh Walpole's strong suit, he had considerable storytelling gifts and hooked me with this 1933 opus. It was a memorable read that left in me a desire to read more of his output. Sharp, witty insights abound in this story of Vanessa Paris, an upper class English woman in 1880's London.
