Description
Beautiful Creatures by Lulu Taylor follows identical twins Octavia and Flora Beaufort as they emerge from a sheltered upbringing and enter the world of wealth, glamour and high society. Raised under the watchful care of their over-protective aunt, the sisters are introduced to society on the eve of their 21st birthday at an extravagant party. Although they share the same background, they could hardly be more different: Octavia embraces her new freedom and the opportunities that come with the family fortune, while Flora is more cautious and longs for the security she has always known.
As Octavia throws herself into a world of expensive clothes, property and relationships, Flora finds comfort in the attention of a man who appears to offer the protection she craves. But both sisters soon discover that their privileged new lives bring dangers of their own. With secrets surrounding their past and their fortunes, the twins must rely on each other as their circumstances become increasingly complicated. Beautiful Creatures is a contemporary women’s fiction novel combining romance, family secrets, wealth and high-society drama. It was first published in 2011.
