... mistakes, and drives some of her children away from her. Her children have difficult and complicated relationships, and struggle to find their way through life. As ever, Penny Vincenzi's storytelling is superb. She draws us into the lives of all her characters, and I found myself completely caught up in their stories and unable to put the book down - even after having read it several times! As in all her novels, the historical detail is fantastic, and the atmosphere of World War II is evoked brilliantly. We sit with the...more

This is the middle novel of the Spoils of Time Trilogy, and the follow up to the excellent No Angel. It's 1928 when this opens, and the focus has shifted from Celia Lytton to her children, the stunning and spoiled twins Adele and Venetia, dull Giles and "adopted" Barty.

Something Dangerous takes us through World War II, and the pain, loss and suffering that it causes. Celia makes mistakes, and drives some of her children away from her.
