À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A family broken by war.

A secret that will change everything.

Celia de Witt is half German, half English and heir to her family’s vast fortune. But it is January 1929, the world is changing, and her life seems less secure than ever. A shocking revelation from her father sends her far from England and the life she knew and headlong into New York, a city brimming with money and promise.

When she arrives in New York, Celia sets about saving the family business by creating a luxury food line for the new generation of independent young women. But she also has other plans. The son she thought was dead is in America and the man she once loved is nearby—but if she opens the Pandora’s box of the past, she may find that other secrets escape . . .

As the shadow of war once again threatens to fall across Europe, Celia is determined to save those she loves, even if salvation comes at the highest price.
