The Diamond Cage — Alice Dwyer-Joyce

At the age of eighteen, Barbara Cavendish Stewart comes to London determined to make a name for herself in the theater. Very soon, to her surprise, she succeeds in her ambition and becomes a headline success story. Within a few years, she has achieved everything she has hoped for, and finds that she is still missing the simplicity and sincerity of her childhood home. With reason, she mistrusts the Vanity Fair of the international set.

There one life crashes into ruins, and she sets determinedly to build another. With hard work she believes she has done it…yet sometimes a ghost of a doubt haunts her. Is it possible that there is no escape down eternity?
