An absolute *blinder* ... so so funny and sexy. So excited now to read everything by Crystal Jeans' Caroline O'Donoghue, author of Scenes of a Graphic Nature 'A glorious celebration of queer friendship and all kinds of love. Funny, outrageous, heartbreaking and so much fun' Kate Davies, winner of the Polari Prize 'Hilarious, fresh and sexy, with a tale that takes the reader from Egypt to Hollywood' Irish Independent 'Funny, filthy and phenomenally good' Matt Cain 'Filthy and hilarious, this is a gloriously naughty romp of a read that also has something serious to say about queer love. I didn't want it to end' S.J. Watson 'Perfect for fans of Tipping the Velvet and Gentleman Jack... a delicious and diligent piece of fiction that will provide you with enough great comebacks to last a lifetime...

What else can they do but enter into a 'lavender marriage' and carry on indulging their true natures in secret? As the '20s and '30s whizz past in a haze of cigarettes, champagne and casual sex, Bart and Bettina have no idea that they are hurtling, via Hollywood and Egypt, Paris and London, towards tragedy and bloodshed...; 384 pages; Published: 31/03/2022
