Book Description:
Born to privilege, Rosemary Fell has wealth, well-connected friends, and a handsome fiancé, Philip Alsop. One cold and rainy night she sees, under a street lamp, the mysterious Eleanor Smith huddled against the elements. In a moment of beneficence, Rosemary invites the penniless young woman home for a cup of tea.
Arriving on the scene, Philip notices Eleanor warming herself by the roaring fire. When Rosemary sees them exchange an unmistakable look, she promptly sends the girl packing. But too late. In that one brief moment, Rosemary's carefully sculptured life has cracked beyond repair. . . .
Inspired by the classic Katherine Mansfield short story, A Cup of Tea springs to life from its rich cast of characters and brilliant evocation of the uncertain days of World War I. This darkly romantic novel engages us with impeccable plotting and a deep sense of foreboding, propelling us toward its shocking conclusion.

Set in 1917, when the world is profoundly changing, this book tells the story of two women from totally different circumstances and the man they both love. It has a bit of an "Upstairs, Downstairs" feel. It is inspired by the famous Katherine Mansfield short story, by the same name. Darkly romantic and compelling.

Held my interest from beginning to end; good short book for book discussion groups. Plenty to talk about!

This book takes place in New York city in the turbulent year of 1917. This darkly romantic novel engages us with impeccable plotting and a deep sense of foreboding, propelling us toward its shocking conclusion.
a sweet story of ill fated love in New York circa World War One. a charming slip of a book - I really enjoyed it.
