A Season of Secrets — Margaret Pemberton

Sweeping from the Great War, through to the 1940s, this unforgettable tale follows the lives of the Fentons, an aristocratic family from Yorkshire. Thea, the eldest daughter of Viscount Gilbert Fenton flouts all the unwritten rules of her class, embarking on a love affair with the son of one of her father's tenant farmers. Olivia, the middle Fenton sister, follows a more conventional path, forging friendships with the British royal family and attending finishing school in Germany. While Violet, the youngest is reckless and dreams of becoming an actress in Hollywood, unaware her life will be filled with more drama than any part she will ever play.
