内容简介：
England, 1948. To escape from the shabby confines of Queen Street, with her adored young sister Ginny and their invalid mother, beautiful twenty-year-old Silvie Marsh chooses a desperate path. Four men love Silvie - and two women do not. . . Jack Thorndyke considers himself as the 'sow's ear' and Silvie the 'silk purse'. Mark Pemberton, her young husband, is heir to a business empire. Adam is an older man to whom she makes a shocking promise. The Reverend David Bradley would gladly relinquish his soul to the devil for her love. Dora Glasspool hates her enough to plot murder, and Laura Pemberton has good reason to wish that her son had never set eyes on Silvie Marsh.
