This ‘Edwardian’ romance is set in 1912 Boston, then Paris, Rome and beyond. We hear that penniless young fortune hunter James, having borrowed money, is setting out to court homely charitable-worker Julia, daughter of a tyrannical, rich Bostonian. She quickly falls under James’ spell. Despite father’s violent objections, she continues to communicate with the dashing young man.
All is discovered. She’s banished to Europe. James pursues her.
When the lovers are left unchaperoned, Julia proves a surprisingly liberated young woman. James’ secret agenda may involve the 1912 mafia. Murder? But does Julia have a plan too?
A devastating twist. Thrilling conclusion. Fun, devilish, surprising. A perceptive study in male/female psychology.
