The white rose : a novel

At forty-eight, Marian Kahn, a professor of history at Columbia University, has reached a comfortable perch. Married, wealthy, and the famed discoverer of eighteenth-century adventuress Lady Charlotte Wilcox, she ought to be content. Instead, she is horrified to find herself profoundly in love with twenty-six-year-old Oliver, the son of her eldest friend. When Marian's snobbish cousin Barton announces his engagement to Sophie, a graduate student in Marian's department, Marian, Oliver, and Sophie find their lives woefully entangled and their hearts turned in unfamiliar directions. All three of them will learn that love may seldom be straightforward, but it's always a gift.
