Description
Something Dangerous by Penny Vincenzi is the second novel in The Spoils of Time trilogy, following the Lytton family and their publishing empire through the turbulent years leading into the Second World War. The Lytton twins, Adele and Venetia, are eighteen in 1928, wealthy, admired and accustomed to privilege, but the growing threat of Nazi Germany begins to cast a shadow over their world.
Alongside the twins, Barty Miller — rescued from the London slums as a baby by Celia Lytton — has grown into a clever and ambitious young woman whose life takes a very different path from theirs. As political events transform Europe and the Lytton family’s privileged world begins to unravel, all three women face choices, temptations and circumstances that will change their lives.
A good choice for readers who enjoy historical family sagas, sweeping stories about powerful families, publishing, romance and the impact of major historical events on personal lives.
