About the book
"A contemporary romantic Australian masterpiece, Grand Days tells of the moral and sexual awakening of an idealistic Australian woman working in the diplomatic corps in Europe in the aftermath of World War I.". "On a train from Paris to Geneva, Edith Campbell Berry meets Major Ambrose Westwood in the dining car, and allows him to kiss her passionately. Their early intimacy binds them together once they reach Geneva and their posts at the newly created League of Nations. There, a heady idealism prevails over Edith and her young colleagues, and nothing seems beyond their grasp. The exuberance carries over into Geneva nights: Edith is drawn into a glamorous demimonde and, coaxed by Westwood, becomes more and more sexually adventurous." "Vivid, funny, and wise, full of shocks and revelation and recognition, Grand Days is a dazzling evocation of the zeitgeist of a golden bygone era and an unerring portrait of a woman of her times."--BOOK JACKET.
