1922, London. Evelyn Bloom lies dying in her Mayfair flat.
A decade earlier, she had the world at her feet – a dazzling celebrity who socialised with royalty, ignited scandalous love affairs, and filled headlines with her daring exploits.
Now, surrounded by the faded mementos of a brilliant life cut short, Evelyn is left to wonder: How did it all go so wrong?
And why, when she had everything, has she been left to die alone?
A breath-taking and unputdownable WWI historical novel, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Natasha Lester, and Mandy Robotham.
