Olivia Curtis wakes to her seventeenth birthday and her presents: a roll of flame-coloured silk for her first evening dress, a diary for her innermost thoughts, a china ornament, and a ten shilling note. Safe within the bosom of a family at once lovingly familiar yet curiously remote, she stands poised on the brink of womanhood, anticipating her first dance with tremulous uncertainty and excitement - the greatest, yet most terrifying, event in her restricted social life.

Four full-cast adaptations of Rosamund Lehmann’s best-known novels, plus short stories and a bonus programme about her life and work.

This is Judith Earle's story - her solitary childhood spent in the seclusion of her riverside house, her awkward, intense experiences at Cambridge rounded with passion and disillusionment, and her travels abroad with her elegant, socialite mother. Above all, this novel is about Judith's consuming relationship with the Fyfe family, who each fall in love with Judith, transforming her young womanhood.

On retrouve ici Olivia, l'héroïne de l'Invitation à la valse : elle a vieilli, s'est mariée. A nouveau son chemin croise celui du séduisant Rollo. Vont-ils céder à leur commune passion ? Dans l'état intermédiaire qui sépare le vert paradis de l'enfance de l'âge de raison, l'invitation à l'amour sera cette fois plus grave, presque dramatique.
