In the summer of 1924, on the eve of a society party, there is the sound of a gun being fired and Robbie Hunter, promising poet, has committed suicide. There are only two witnesses to what happened - the Hartford sisters, Hannah and Emmeline. Rumour had it that Hunter was engaged to one sister but the lover of the other. After the tragedy the sisters never spoke to each other again.

|comment= Having read your review, I have to say that I am entirely in agreement. This book is very slow for the first 60 or so pages, but I cannot now put it down. I havent finished it yet but I am enjoying every page that I am reading. Every spare moment I can find is now being spent reading this excellent story.
I decided to buy a book to read because of the awful weather we are experiencing and am so pleased that I did so. It is a book that deserves all of the praises it has amassed so far and I look forward to Emailing you again when I have reached the final page.
