La noche interrumpida

With the departure of Piers, a dreamy and irresponsible husband, and the sale of some valuable paintings, Clare Aubrey seems to finally take over the reins of her family. Rose and Mary continue to train as pianists, while Cordelia is forced to work as an art dealer's assistant and give up her artistic aspirations forever, and Richard Quin, the younger brother, contemplates studying at Oxford. The Interrupted Night continues the unforgettable Aubrey family trilogy at the dawn of the 20th century, when the coming of age of girls, with their gradual acceptance of love and loss, becomes even more poignant as events unfold. They will lead to the First World War and its dramatic consequences.
