Notes

As Rudolph Valentino lay on his deathbed calling for an unknown lover, the world wondered who she was, and only one woman knew the truth. Leaving war-ravaged London in 1916, Jennifer Doyle and her reprobate father set sail for America. As the boat draws near to the soaring skyscrapers of New York a world of possibilities is promised, so when Jenny discovers that her father has arranged her work with the neurotic Madame de Saulles, she is devastated. Life at the Box, the home of the de Saulles, is Gatsby-like glamorous but with cloying undertones of malice and madness, and Jenny's blossoming romance with dancer Rodolfo offers rare relief. Secrets infect the household until, one tragic day, the lives of the inhabitants are changed forever.
