England in transition, from a colonial power to a creative powerhouse, seen through the eyes two young women who begin their fight for independent lives in the Swinging London of the Sixties. Traditionally-minded Catherine and rebellious Monty reject their privileged background and set out to fulfil their talents in two very different worlds - high finance and rock music. At the height of their success their father's hidden past is revealed and they are forced to question their beliefs. Celia Brayfield's first novel, Pearls defined a generation with its panoramic vision of women's lives in the second half of the twentieth century, sweeping from the rainforests of Malaysia on the eve of World War II to the glossy materialism of Eighties London. "Ms Brayfield knows what she is doing, and what she does, she does well..her women sound and act like real women." Anthony Burgess, The Independent "Sisterhood is powerful in this passionate page-turner." Time Magazine "A great adventure of our time which.confronts all human passions, ambitions and dreams."
