Sextet by Sally Beauman

Moving from Halloween through Thanksgiving to Christmas, from the cloisters of Oxford to the unpredictable looking-glass world of a Hollywood film, this is a novel about obsessions and the heartbreak they can cause.Sally Beauman is a Cambridge University graduate who was born in Devon, England.
