Silk
By Penny Jordan
Synopsis
Amber Vrontsky is the heiress to the Pickford dynasty, presided over by the formidable Blanche.
Obsessed with social climbing, Blanche wants nothing more for her granddaughter than a titled husband - something which, despite her immense wealth, she failed to secure.
But free-spirited Amber is intent on forging her own artistic career with the silk she loves so much. Unable to disobey Blanche, however, shé moves to society London to become a debutante - and enters a world of illicit affairs, drug-taking, gambling, lavender marriages and corruption.
From the lavish decadence of aristocratic London to the opium dens of the Far East, the chic boutiques of Paris to the Nazi-controlled streets of Berlin, Silk reveals the scandal and glamour of a tumultuous period in history.
