description: Many people thought the Delaney family was blessed, but others thought it was cursed. Celia was a wonderful artist who refused to acknowledge her gift. Maria was a talented actress who preferred cheap life dramas to stage roles. Niall was a brilliant composer who mocked his talent. None of them cared very much about anything. They were the fabulous Delaneys - chasing love and luxury in a world they believed was strictly their own.
