Melbury Square

by Dorothy Eden

In the tradition of the bestselling Vines of Yarrabee, Dorothy Eden offers a tumultuous saga of Edwardian England. Melbury Square is the dramatic story of a great beauty, Maud Lucie, daughter of one of London's fashionable portrait painters, who must choose between her obsessively adoring father and the penniless young aristocrat with whom she has fallen in love. How the vibrant, headstrong Maud Lucie comes to terms with this strange challenge and discovers the real meaning of love and womanhood is an unforgettable reading experience.
