Description
Stella Markham is a woman who sees herself in others. If she can reflect her own beauty and charm back at them, they are welcome into her life. But if their true nature is revealed, she will reject them. As Stella navigates the complexities of adulthood, her desire for perfection becomes an all-consuming force. She will stop at nothing to maintain her image, even if it means sacrificing those around her. This poignant novel explores the triumphs and tragedies of a woman who has lost sight of what truly matters. Richmal Crompton's nuanced portrayal of Stella Markham is both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. A nostalgic treat for fans of interwar fiction, this novel offers a powerful exploration of the human condition.
