BY THE AUTHOR SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE

INTRODUCED BY POLLY DEVLIN

'Psychologically sharp, socially knowing and closely knit' IRISH TIMES

'She was . . . marvellous' GUARDIAN

'A writer of genius' WALL STREET JOURNAL

One glorious gothic mansion - Garonlea - and two rather different ladies who would be Queen . . .

Lady Charlotte French-McGrath has successfully ruled over her family with a rod of iron until the arrival of Cynthia: beautiful, young, talented, selfish - and engaged to her son Desmond.

When Cynthia enters the Jazz Age, on the surface her life passes in a whirl of hunting, drinking and romance. But the ghosts of Garonlea are only biding their time: they know the source of their power, a secret handed on from one generation to the next.©1937 M.J. Farrell

She was . . . marvellous
Keane's distinctive blend of elegant savagery and deep affection . . . its human relationships tortured like bonsai by good form, its open-hearted, sensual passion for horses, dogs and landscape
Psychologically sharp, socially knowing and closely knit
She is akin to Jane Austen in her feeling for the minute of human behaviour (Polly Devlin)
I admired many authors. But Molly, I loved (Diana Athill)
The characterisation of women is first class (Sebastian Faulks)
A writer of genius
Molly Keane ... is robust about sinful human nature and the intrigues of the heart...
Psychologically sharp, socially knowing and closely knit
The characterisation of women is first class
