Product Description

The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy - otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side - has its own rigid code of behaviour.

It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family, who live beautifully-displayed, impeccably-edited lives.

Thomas Wilder-Bingham is a partner in a prestigious law firm.

At least - that's who he is to Glenn, his icy, domineering wife.

At least - that's who Glenn is to Kemble, her weak and dissolute son.

At least - that's who Kemble is to Natalie, the unhappy mother of his three children.

At least - that's who Natalie is to Teddy, her protective teenage son.

So when an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old school teacher from England bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises she hasn't read the rule book.

And for the Wilder-Bingham family, whose lives begin to unravel thread by thread, the consequences are explosive . . .
