Given the Choice

Marion, 39, has a lot going for her. She’s talented, ambitious and married to a wealthy financier who adores her. She’s also capable of lying when the odds seem stacked up against her and is a good deal more vulnerable than she lets on. Amidst the glamour and spin of the contemporary London art and classical music worlds, money rules and an artist’s skill is rarely enough. Marion’s top clients – a brilliant French painter and a virtuoso Estonian pianist – benefit from her entrepreneurial flair, but when her husband says it’s time they had a child, this contrary heroine faces a tough choice.

Will Marion become ensnared in the web of deceit she has cast round herself? Or can she learn enough to save her business and her marriage?

In this novel by the award-winning author of Vanessa and Virginia, it is you, the reader, who decides.
