When they go their separate ways, they vow to get together in London the following year. But many years pass before the three cross paths again, and the once-capricious, carefree girls now all have thriving careers. One of them, however, harbors a terrible secret: On her return from her pre-college excursion, she abandoned her just-born daughter at Heathrow.
My question at the close of the book was this? In the entire scheme of things, was Cassia's life improved by her inheritance? or gradually destroyed? I seem to feel that it wasn't the "cash" that was the primary cause for strife ... but both Cassia's and Edward's inability to embrace their personal truths. Everything else slowly fell like a landslide.In a joint statement, her four daughters Polly Harding, Sophie Cornish, Emily Gunnis and Claudia Vincenzi paid tribute. “A true trailblazer, her ambition matched her talent, enabling her to break down barriers and show others behind her – especially her daughters – what it was possible to achieve, professionally and personally. In her later years she met many challenges with her health, but was adamant to remain, in her own words, ‘cheerful and positive, someone the grandchildren remembered as happy and fun to be around.’ She always said she wanted to die at her typewriter. Only last week she was still galloping through her new novel, so she fulfilled her ambitions to the last,” the statement read.

For instance, No Angel published in 2000 was announced the winner of 2003 RT Reviewers Choice Award under fictionalized Saga category.

From the very first novel I read by Penny Vincenzi, I never fail to be amazed by her work. Her novels are rich with characters who develop throughout, and she is able to manage plots that string all the way across and throughout the entire novel while keeping them consistent.
What To Read Next
Vincenzi’s agent, Clare Alexander, said: “Her special gift as a novelist was her love for her characters, and that came from her deep interest in not only the people in her imagination, but also in pretty well everyone she ever met. In this book, Bard Channing is a rich businessman who broke into the property business early on in his career, building up his business with partners so that he has a pretty vast empire by the time the book starts. Francesca is his third wife and mother of two of his children, although he has older children from previous marriages. Bard is rough around the edges and is not anyone's ideal father, although Francesca loves him and is willing to forgive him many of his ill temperaments. Her break as a novelist came when she was commissioned to interview Cooper. As she finished her questions, Vincenzi quipped: “I want to write this kind of nonsense too.” Cooper introduced Vincenzi to her agent, Desmond Elliott. Her debut novel, Old Sins, was cooked up over a long lunch with Elliott at Fortnum & Mason in 1988. It was bought by Anthony Cheetham at Century Hutchinson for a six-figure advance on the basis of the first three chapters and marked Vincenzi’s move from journalism, a career she had pursued since leaving a “ posh secretarial college in London” for Vogue nearly three decades before.
Never a diva, she would keep scrupulously to deadlines and take editorial direction without complaint. The four editors with whom she worked over her career recalled her as fiercely loyal – she remained with her first editor, Rosie de Courcy, for 10 years in a formidable partnership. Vincenzi was also a fashion journalist who worked for various publications, including the Daily Mirror and Vogue.

I got so many and they all got mixed up when I moved and I had no system where 'these are read' and 'there are to be read', which makes things so confusing! Woman do not graduate 👨🎓 from medical 🏥 school in 🏴 England during the 1920s and they certainly do not out perform their male partners.It was the fashion world that provided material for Vincenzi’s novels, which featured indomitable women fighting men in the boardroom to rescue glamorous businesses from the brink of collapse and, in the process, falling in love. No Angel: This is a novel themed on sweeping saga of family politics, power, love story, and passion bound drama. Cecilia Lytton the beautiful and strong-willed girl of wealthy aristocrats moves through her life making some tough and dangerous decisions. These decisions not only affect her but also change her husband, Oliver, her children; Sylvia Miller whose life has been changed by intervention, as well as Oliver elder sister who is not all she claims to be; and Sebastian Brooke.

Novelist Harriet Evans, who edited Vincenzi before turning to writing fiction herself, said that working with her was “the highlight of my publishing career, hands down”.
