Elinor and Lucy Sutherland came from nearly nothing - two beautiful sisters who lived by their wits and ambition. They were at once each other's fiercest supporters and most vicious critics. Together they seduced the world. Lucy transforms herself into Lucile, whose fashions are the talk of London. And when she marries Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon her life seems like a fairy tale. But success comes at a cost - to her marriage and her children... Then, one fateful night, the Titanic strikes an iceberg...and scandal follows. Elinor writes as Elinor Glyn, and her novels are so shocking no one admits to reading them...but everyone does. And when she travels to the glittering new world of Hollywood she becomes a worldwide celebrity. But although she writes of passion, the true love she longs for eludes her. Despite quarrels and misunderstandings, distance and destiny, there is no bond stronger than that of the two sisters - confidants, friends, rival,s and the two "It Girls" of their day.
