Opis

A sweeping tale of love in the 1920s and a powerful story of reinvention, Darling Blue is a simply gorgeous read... Blue lives a charmed life. From her family's townhouse in Richmond, she lives a life of luxury and couldn't want for anything - well, on the surface at least. Then on the night of her twenty-first birthday her father makes a startling toast: he will give his daughter's hand to whichever man can capture her heart best in the form of a love letter. But Blue has other ideas and, unwilling to play at her father's bewildering games, she sets out on her own path to find her own destiny... SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT DARLING BLUE!
