‘She was . . . marvellous’ GUARDIAN

‘Keane’s distinctive blend of elegant savagery and deep affection’ EVENING STANDARD

‘I admired many authors. But Molly, I loved’ DIANA ATHILL

Angel, formidable hostess, social charmer and mother par excellence, confidently awaits the return of her little boy from the trials of war. She could not anticipate that the teenager who went away will return a grown man – bronzed and world-weary – a sophisticated American widow on his arm. Nor could she anticpate that her irrepressible daughter Slaney will similarly throw herself into romance (without asking her advice) and even her niece Tiddley will show an unexpected determination in getting on with her life.

Faced with domestic insurrection on a grand scale, Angel will have to sharpen her wits to maintain her tyranny.
