About
Even though, with the thunderclouds of World War Two gathering, the old taboos against love between people of different classes are being eroded, there still are many barriers to love in 1938 Britain.
For self-made motor industry tycoon Norman, it is his own secretly diffident character that keeps love at bay. For the object of his desire, the volatile and voluptuous Carlotta, the barrier is her obsession with glamour and infatuation with the far younger, almost penniless, Hector.
And, in love with Norman's lovely stepdaughter Skye, Hector has problems of his own, Skye's hidebound Highlander grandfather, who forbids her marrying 'beneath her'.
Two tales of passion intertwine in a romantic adventure that careers from the Scottish Highlands to London's Theatreland, from Norman's thriving car Factory to the sophistication and glamour of Paris and the French Riviera.
Will Skye, Hector, Carlotta and Norman ever grasp the happiness that seems to be slipping through their fingers? It seems only a fatal accident has the power to seal the lovers' Fate.
