Lydia works in a museum, dragging kids round the Long Before Man tour. Felix has never worked anywhere and spends his days dragging on cigarettes and writing songs for Moja, his beloved rock group. When they meet, they realise that all you need in common is to be following the same dream - and it's even better to be following it in a 1969 Jaguar 240! When Lydia offers to manage Moja, she finds four very different people: Justin, the bass player, is as aloof and stoned as the drummer; Nicky is sweet and impish. Gorgeous, temperamental lead singer Amber is determined to make Lydia's life as hard as possible. And then there's Felix who, for all his beauty and charm, is as paranoid and insecure as every struggling musician before him. It's a wild journey from the beginning of a dream to making it happen.

Eva Rice, daughter of the famed lyricist Tim Rice, has written a captivating  and wonderfully stylized novel about a group of friends in postwar London’s  glamorous and daring young society.  With mannered prose dripping in the charm of 1950s London, TheLost Art of Keeping Secrets  centers around Penelope, the wide-eyed daughter of a legendary beauty, Talitha, who is unable to move  beyond the loss of her charmed husband to the war. Penelope, with her mother and brother, struggles to  maintain their vast and crumbling ancestral home—and the lifestyle to which they have grown  accustomed—while postwar London spins toward the next decade’s cultural revolution.  Penelope wants nothing more than to fall in love. When her new best friend, Charlotte, a free spirit in the  young society set, drags Penelope into vibrant young London with all of its grand parties, she sets in  motion great change for them all. Charlotte’s mysterious and attractive brother Harry plots to use Penelope  to make his American ex-girlfriend jealous, with unforeseen consequences, until a dashing, wealthy  American movie producer arrives with what might be the key to Penelope’s—and her family’s—future  happiness.  Vibrant, witty, and filled with vivid historical detail, The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets is an utterly  unique debut novel about a time and place just slipping into history.

Set in the 1950s, in an England still recovering from the Second World War, THE LOST ART OF KEEPING SECRETS is the enchanting story of Penelope Wallace and her eccentric family at the start of the rock'n'roll era. Penelope longs to be grown-up and to fall in love; but various rather inconvenient things keep getting in her way. Like her mother, a stunning but petulant beauty widowed at a tragically early age, her younger brother Inigo, currently incapable of concentrating on anything that isn't Elvis Presley, a vast but crumblng ancestral home, a severe shortage of cash, and her best friend Charlotte's sardonic cousin Harry...Eva Rice's novel is an utterly engrossing read, in the tradition of Nancy Mitford and I CAPTURE THE CASTLE.
