In her first novel, Imogen de la Bere has crafted a wise and charming comedy of manners--and morals. As the narrative switches back and forth between Palliser in England and his wife, Salome, and children in New Zealand, de la Bere raises the stakes by introducing a potential love interest for the abandoned wife--and an inconvenient case of guilty conscience for the scheming Wentwood. This is an old-fashioned novel with old-fashioned pleasures: a slightly formal narrative, complex characters you come to care about, and a strong story that more than earns its satisfying ending. --Margaret Prior
