Synopsis: For fans of Downton Abbey, Gosford Park and After the Party. Duty, scandal, and a mother&’s desperate attempt to protect her sons from a secret that will destroy them. 'A breathtakingly good, heartbreaking and utterly absorbing story.' Cressida Connolly, author of After the Party LONDON 1921 – Jean Buckman, a young and innocent American heiress arrives in England to find a society decimated by war but resolutely clinging to the status quo. She marries Edward Warre an engaging but complex man and the owner of a once great but now struggling estate. As the marriage falters, Jean spends her summers in the South of France where she embarks on a passionate affair that will have repercussions for the rest of her life. Two sons arrive, the oldest, heir to the estate, is not the true bloodline. But Edward needs Jean&’s money to survive, and she needs her husband's silence. The Other Side of Paradise is the heart-breaking story of a family ripped apart by the shackles of inheritance and the rules imposed upon them by a society that cannot face the truth. 'With gorgeously fluid prose that never snags on the period detail, Beaumont is a debut writer with a bold future.' Jessica Fellowes, author of The Mitford Murders
