Juniper Boscar is beautiful, spoiled and fabulously rich—a charming yet dangerous "golden butterfly." She captivates everyone she meets, yet leaves only heartbreak and destruction in her wake. One of those drawn to her is Polly Frobisher, the gentle but determined daughter of an actress, and custodian of the azure bowl. Then there is Alice Tregowan, the Cornish mine-owner’s daughter, whose own daughter, Grace, is destroyed by obsessional love. From the rugged beauty of Cornwall to the genteel estates of East Coast America and the terrors of war-torn France, The Golden Butterfly is the compelling second volume of the Daughters of a Granite Land trilogy.
