The Ashford affair

2013 · Book · Lauren Willig, Nicola Barber

As a lawyer in a large Manhattan firm, just shy of making partner, Clementine Evans has finally achieved almost everything she's been working towards -- but now she's not sure it's enough. Her long hours have led to a broken engagement and, suddenly single at thirty-four, she feels her messy life crumbling around her. But when the family gathers for her grandmother Addie's ninety-ninth birthday, a relative lets slip hints about a long-buried family secret, leading Clemmie on a journey to the inner circles of World War I British society and the red hills of Kenya. by Lauren Willig, Nicola Barber
