Chloe Marr is young, beautiful and so irresistible that countless people fall in love with her, and friends are hypnotized by her charm and warmth. Her origins are a mystery and, in London society, such mystique carries both allure and suspicion.

But when an untimely exodus pulls Chloe from the people around her, they soon realise nobody really knows the truth about anybody else...

A. A. Milne's ability to portray interwar society is second to none, and this classic novel of an elusive Mayfair delivers his signature humour and lightness of touch.
