"England, 1931. Clever, witty, and determined, Astra Davies smokes, drinks, plays a mean piano, and gallivants around London with her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Then her parents die, suddenly-- leaving her with a raft of debts. With few marketable skills, Astra has two choices: find a rich husband or make her own way. The only man she fancies-- Jeremy Harris, the Earl of Dunreaven-- is as hard up as she is. As a series of bruising scandals dogs her every step of the way, Astra is dead set on proving she's no ordinary Bright Young Thing." --
