The House of Vandekar — Evelyn Anthony

THE MAGNIFICENT VANDEKARS...
FROM THE TURBULENT THIRTIES TO TODAY, FROM THE PRIVILEGES OF WEALTH TO THE TRAGEDIES OF WAR, THEY WOVE AN INTRICATE WEB OF LOVE AND LIES THAT TRAPPED THEM ALL UNTIL THE TIME CAME TO BREAK FREE TO REVEAL THE TRUTH, AND PAY THE PRICE...

Ashdown, house of the Vandekars, is a legend of elegant English refinement. But its stately facade masks the dark secrets within the hearts of its occupants -- the bold deception, illicit love, and shocking violence that are the curse and legacy of three generations of dynamic women: Alice -- the American beauty whose passionate wartime love casts a shadow over the house of Vandekar .... Diana -- the vivacious debutante who marries an honored Vandekar, bears his child, but whose obsession nearly destroys them all.... And Nancy -- the heiress, the only one who can cleanse the Vandekar name ... if she can bear to face the terrifying hidden truth of her extraordinary family.
