### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not .just a pretty face
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2023*

It was a pleasant day and gave me a little escapism . To enter a world of rich tapestry of a life I would never be a part of .

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A pleasant light read with a fairly predictable plot
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2023*

This novel is set in the world of super-rich Americans in the late 1920s and the start of the 1930s. Pandora, daughter of a top tennis instructor employed by wealthy Americans, has become very much part of their milieu. We see her disappointed in love, then having a marriage that does not work out, and finally achieving happiness. Side by side with this she struggles to realise her business ambitions.The plot had no surprises for me, and I found aspects of Pandora's integration into the American upper class unconvincing, and the same was true of the ease with which everything came right in the end. But the book is a light, pleasant and undemanding read.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    light reading
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2023*

A reasonably enjoyable book but I found the whole set-up unconvincing.  A sports coach's daughter, living with a wealthy family, becomes best friends with the children of the family - an unlikely scenario, I think, in the 1920s where the book is set.  It is,  believe, intended to celebrate women starting to become independent during this time, but the history does not seem quite well enough researched.A glaring error: a whole street of houses burns down but a  parked car is undamaged and ready to take the owner home.  A good deal of editing would have improved the irritations of various errors in the prose and the plotting.
