No picture was ever more beautiful than Raphael's Pandora. Discovered in a Normandy chateau in 1944, she had cast her spell over the Belvedon family-all artists and dealers-for half a century. Now she's locked away in a turret of their lovely Cotswold house, increasing her colossal value by the second. All is well until an exquisite stranger turns up, claiming to be a long-lost daughter of the family. Accompanying her is her fatally glamorous American boyfriend, whose agenda includes an unhealthy interest in the Raphael. When the painting is stolen, the hunt to retrieve it takes the reader on a breathless chase, from London and Paris to New York. Wickedly clever and sparkling with wit, this is Jilly Cooper at her best. Jilly Cooper is the hugely popular author of many number one best-selling novels, including Riders, Rivals, Polo, Score!, Appasionata, and The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous.
More Description
A novel about love, high living, intrigue and a missing painting.
Raymond Kelvedon had been a dashing subaltern in 1944 when he had come across the glorious painting by Raphael depicting Pandora releasing the seven deadly sins into the world. The painting ended up on the bedroom wall of his beautiful home, Foxes Court, in the peaceful county of Larkshire. His tempestuous wife, Galina, entertained her lovers there as well as giving birth to her four children beneath its watchful gaze, but after her tragic and mysterious death, Raymond kept the painting hidden away in a tower room, its existence forgotten by most of those who ever knew about it.
Now, Raymond has a gallery, a new wife and adorable young twins, as well as his four grown children. Then into all their lives erupts Emerald lovely, talented and desperately searching for her real parents. Zach Ansteig, an attractive and mysterious American encourages her to go to Foxes Court where, he persuades her, her birth mother will be found. The Kelvedon family is outraged. But Zach is also searching for something the Raphael Pandora, which he believes should belong to him."
