Desperate for a new life, a London woman engineers a cunning deception โin this tangled tale that twists and turns up to the very endโ (Booklist).
ย Angela Harperโs life has never been simple. Sheโs an orphan who spent her childhood in foster homes. Her handsome, charming husband Billy canโt hold down a job. And theyโre both stuck in a grimy London flat with no prospects for their future beyond the periodic welfare check. That is, until Ange concocts a lie that will change their lives. Her con targets the wealthy, twice-divorced businessman Fabian Ormerod, whom, with the approval of her husband, she is determined to trick into a very advantageous marriageโwith a quick divorce to follow.ย Gillian Whiteโs cutting, sardonic style unfurls in The Beggar Bride, as she needles Englandโs stiff upper crust, the titans of business, and the idle poor below them.
