A novel about love, high living, intrigue and a missing painting. Raymond Kelvedon had been a dashing subaltern in 1944 when he had come across the glorious painting by Raphael depicting Pandora releasing the seven deadly sins into the world. The painting ended up on the bedroom wall of his beautiful home, Foxes Court, in the peaceful county of Larkshire. His tempestuous wife, Galina, entertained her lovers there as well as giving birth to her four children beneath its watchful gaze, but after her tragic and mysterious death, Raymond kept the painting hidden away in a tower room, its existence forgotten by most of those who ever knew about it. Now, Raymond has a gallery, a new wife and adorable young twins, as well as his four grown children. Then into all their lives erupts Emerald – lovely, talented and desperately searching for her real parents. Zach Ansteig, an attractive and mysterious American encourages her to go to Foxes Court where, he persuades her, her birth mother will be found. The Kelvedon family is outraged. But Zach is also searching for something – the Raphael Pandora, which he believes should belong to him. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Pandora refers to a painting, one which was taken from a burning chateau in France during WW2. Art dealer Raymond has it on the wall of his home, which he shares with Galena, an emotionally damaged artist. The book follows their life together and that of their 4 children, to the arrival of a girl who claims to be part of the family.
Like the other books in the Rutshire Chronicles, this is a pageturner, you quickly get caught up in the petty squabbles, rivalries, relationships, and of course the sex, the only difference is that here the story centres around the art world.
Any Jilly fan will enjoy this, but it is a stand alone book, so you don't need to have read the others. ( )
