Chloe Marr is young, beautiful and so irresistible that countless people fall in love with her, and friends are hypnotized by her charm and warmth. Her origins are a mystery and, in London society, such mystique carries both allure and suspicion.

But when an untimely exodus pulls Chloe from the people around her, they soon realise nobody really knows the truth about anybody else...

A. A. Milne's ability to portray interwar society is second to none, and this classic novel of an elusive Mayfair delivers his signature humour and lightness of touch.

A delightful and entertaining novel of a beautiful and elusive woman, and those in love with her.

About the Author

Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) was born in London. He was a regular contributor to Punch, and later, assistant editor, before the interruption of active service in the First World War. A remarkably versatile writer, Milne went on to become a hugely successful and widely-known playwright, both in the West End and on Broadway, as well as an essayist, poet, novelist and - most famously - children's author, as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.

Reviews

'He is sensitive. He can write charmingly... and his prose is at once facile and precise'

* New York Post *

'There is an astringent realism about Milne's mind and work... and an unassuming sureness of balance lightened with so serene and deft a wit'

* New York Times *
