When she writes a scathing review of Bloomsbury luminary Sebastian Hardie, she's hardly expecting an invitation to his next party-much less to find herself the focus of his romantic attentions. Irresistibly drawn to the prospect of adventure, Jade is intrigued and somewhat shocked to find that Hardie's charismatic wife supports his extramarital dalliances. But exciting as the Hardies are, a life of fancy dinner parties and bohemian drama is not the freedom Jade has worked for-nor is Hardie the person whose affection she craves. When a vexing personal condition forces her to confront her real desires, she must decide whether to succumb to the stifling fantasies of the Hardies-or to seize her real life with the tenacity it demands. Sparkling with charm and understated romance, The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo is a delicious epistolary romp, rife with social commentary and full of wit.
