The Last Waltz

Hauntingly romantic, unforgettably moving, here is THE LAST WALTZ -- a novel that will sweep you into a magnificent world where wealth and tradition cannot hold back the dizzying heights of passion -- or escape the shattering depths of scandal and betrayal.

Set against the glittering Boston of the 1880s and the opulent society of turn-of-the-century Newport, this is the story of Isabel January -- a debutante of wealth, breeding, and rare beauty, whose poised smile and cool eyes hide the wild yearnings of her heart. And this is the story of Marian Childs -- plain, impoverished, without prospects, yet destined to blossom into a woman of style and substance. Of different worlds, these two indomitable women are inextricably linked through fortune and fate, through tragedy and triumph, through two generations of the prominent January family -- and ultimately through the one man whose ruthless passion will forever alter the course of both their lives.
