Clever, witty, and determined, she smokes, drinks, plays a mean piano, and gallivants around London with her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. But she finds herself in a tight spot when her parents die suddenly, leaving her with a raft of debts. With few marketable skills and a closet full of family secrets, she has two choices: find a rich husband or make her own way. A fiercely driven woman like Astra is not about to cast her lot in with a man, especially out of desperation. And since the only man she fancies-Jeremy Harris, the Earl of Dunreaven-is as hard up as she is, her way forward is clear. But the path to independence is a bumpy one fraught with hazards and heartbreaking choices: a blackmailing socialite threatens to derail Astra's reputation, a brainless business partner just might drive her even further into debt, and a series of bruising scandals dogs her every step of the way. From the bustle of London to the country estates of the aristocracy, Astra embarks on a journey that tests her brains, wit, and mettle as never before. But one way or another, Astra Davies is dead set on proving she's no ordinary Bright Young Thing. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Women $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen thirties $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Arserio, Shiromi, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14357210?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781666518405_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220104013636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6CE72C4598611EC9F5A40905DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
