BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER:

Gillon is an American Southerner, but definitely not a Southern belle.  An art historian, she takes a job in London largely to escape the family and social pressures of her home town, Charleston, South Carolina.

Once in London, she meets Tilly, the features editor on an arts magazine , and makes her first English friend.  She also meets Henry, a wildlife photographer and Tilly's long-term boyfriend.  Henry, like so many of his generation, can't commit to the one thing Tilly wants about everything - marriage.

Inadvertently, Gillon offers Henry an escape - the chance to go and photograph the wonderful wildlife in South Carolina.  Neither he nor she bargains on what he will find there, nor on the effect his departure will have on Tilly and the e world he leaves behind. 

A cruelly funny book...most astute observation. - Daily Telegraph

She moves her characters around and through each other's lives with the skilled hands of a master puppeteer...expert with the clever observation. - Globe and Mail.

Trollope does an excellent job of showing the bewilderment of the offspring of the 60's swingers...the story is her usual page turner. - Toronto Sun.
