Synopsis

No picture ever came more beautiful than Raphael's Pandora...Discovered by a dashing young lieutenant, Raymond Kelvedon in a Normandy Chateau in 1944, she had cast her spell over his family - all artists and dealers - for fifty years.Hanging in a turret of their lovely Cotswold house, Pandora witnessed Raymond's tempestuous wife Galena both entertaining a string of lovers, and giving birth to her four children: Jupiter, Alizarin, Jonathan and superbrat Sienna. Then an exquisite stranger rolls up, claiming to be a long-lost daughter of the family, setting the three Belvedon brothers at each other's throats. Accompanying her is her fatally glamorous boyfriend, whose very different agenda includes an unhealthy interest in the Raphael.When the painting is stolen during a fireworks party, the police are called and a global search ensues to discover once and for all who stole the masterpiece and who it actually belongs to. Will passionate love triumph, and will Pandora be restored to her rightful home? ----------------------------------'Cooper's sheer exuberance and energy are contagious' The Times'The whole thing is a riot - vastly superior to anything else in a glossy cover' Daily Telegraph'This is Jilly on top form with her most sparkling novel to date' Evening Standard'One reads her for her joie de vivre, her maudlin romanticism, her love of arty references and her razor sharp sense of humour.
