'D.J. Taylor aims for the big time with this epic novel, detailing the Becky Sharp-like rise of a Kansas farmgirl who becomes chatelaine of an English country estate in the 1930s. But those she has stepped on in the past return to exact their revenge. A gripping page-turner filled with surprises, shocks and deep psychological insight' - Independent on Sunday
