The Glittering Hour

An unforgettable historical novel about true love found and lost and the secrets we keep from one another.

Selina Lennox is a Bright Young Thing. Her life is a whirl of parties and drinking, pursued by the pres and staying on just the right side of scandal, while running from the life her parents have planned for her.

Lawrence Weston is a penniless painter who is drawn into Selina's orbit one fateful night, beginning a chain of events that will have a profound effect on them both. But talent and ambition are not enough to ear Lawrence a place in Selina's gilded world, and there are consequences for girls like her who break the rules. When tragedy strikes, Selina finds herself choosing what her head tells her is safe over what her heart knows is right.

Spanning two decades and a seismic shift in British history as World War II approaches, Iona Grey's The Glittering Hour is an epic novel of passion, heartache, and loss.
