The Hartwell Invitation · Prologue

, ,

Welcome to the world of Celia Vale, a young woman raised in 1990s London, where appearances and manners are currency. Her parents, Henry and Rose, are skilled navigators of society despite their modest means: he arranges introductions between old titles and new money; she has an eye for fashion and the social codes it communicates. Together they teach Celia that confidence, discretion and style can open doors wealth alone cannot. When a privileged guest list disappears and whispers threaten Henry’s livelihood, the family’s carefully crafted reputation begins to fracture, forging the resolve and finesse Celia will need for the challenges ahead.
