Description

Jules Mendelson is wealthy. Astronomically so. He and his wife lead the kind of charity-giving, art-filled, high-society life for which each has been carefully groomed. Until Jules falls in love with Flo March, a beautiful actress/waitress. What Flo discovers about the superrich is not a pretty sight. And in the end, she wants no more than what she was promised. But when Flo begins to share the true story of her life among the Mendelsons, not everyone is in a listening mood. And some cold shoulders have very sharp edges. . . . From the Paperback edition.

partially told from the viewpoint of Flo March, Jules Mendelsohn's mistress, but you also understand how his wife, the beautiful, organized, high-class wife Pauline. It was an ideal marriage, a great partnership, but Jules had always got his own way...

Guilty pleasure. The super rich, and how they socialise. Dominic Dunne has a sharp ear for dialogue. Crammed with wonderful gossip and the unexpected connections between people.
