  • "Gillon - red-haired, intelligent, vulnerable - comes to London to escape from the demands of her wealthy, conventional, socially superior family in Charleston, South Carolina. An art historian, she has a chance meeting with Tilly, whose long-term boyfriend Henry is a wildlife photographer who is finding it hard to commit."@en
  • "Gillon Stokes has always defied the common stereotypes of the traditional Southern girl, but when she returns home from a summer in London with a new boyfriend, she begins to see her family and hometown in a new light."
  • "A group of young people struggle to cope with the changing rules, mores, and expectations of late 20th-century society."
  • "Een meisje, dat in de traditionele wereld van de zuidelijke Verenigde Staten een buitenbeentje is, gaat een poosje in Londen werken."
  • "Gillon, jeune Américaine, décide de quitter Charleston, la ville où elle a grandi, pour aller vivre à Londres. Elle emménage chez Tilly et Henry, un couple dont la vie est déjà quelque peu agitée par les allées et venues de leur ancien collocataire, William, et de sa petite amie Susie. A l'arrivée de Gillon s'engage un chassé-croisé amoureux où chacun craint de devenir adulte."
  • "When Gillon comes back to her native Charleston, she has a young Englishman in tow. He has accompanied her on a lark, planning to take pictures. But he soon falls in love with the sights of South Carolina, with Gillon's family-and perhaps, with Gillon herself...From the acclaimed author of Marrying the Mistress, this is an unforgettable novel about feeling like a fish out of water-and finding those with whom we can breathe more easily."@en
  • ""Gillon is an American Southerner, but definitely not a Southern belle. An art historian, she takes a job in London largely to escape the family and social pressure of her home town, Charleston, South Carolina. Once in London, she meets Tilly, the features editor on an arts magazine, and makes her first English friend. She also meets Henry, a wildlife photographer and Tilly's long-term boyfriend. Henry, like so many of his generation, can't commit to the one thing Tilly wants above everything - marriage. Inadvertently, Gillon offers Henry an escape - the chance to go and photograph the wonderful wildlife in South Carolina. Neither he nor she bargains on what he will find there, nor on the effect his departure will have on Tilly and the worl he leaves behind."
