Penny Vincenzi masterfully weaves a narrative filled with historical intrigue, complex characters, and emotional depth, making Something Dangerous a must-read for fans of historical fiction and family sagas.
Set against the backdrop of the 1920s and 1930s, this epic saga follows the dazzling Lytton twins, Adele and Venetia, who are born into the prestigious Lytton publishing empire. On their eighteenth birthday in 1928, they are wealthy, admired, and brimming with confidence. As the specter of Nazi Germany looms, their privileged world begins to darken in unimaginable ways.
The story also follows Barty Miller, a clever and ambitious young woman rescued from the London slums by Celia Lytton. Barty's journey is a stark contrast to the twins', as she faces unexpected temptations and challenges. As family secrets unravel and the threat of war grows, the lives of these characters intertwine in a tale of love, ambition, and resilience.
