Title: While the music lasts
First published: 1992
Description: Life for the four Bryant sisters--Viv, Claire, Julie, and Isobel--is not as carefree as it might be in the Swinging Twenties, because they grew up in a modest way with their divorced mother. Their lives changed when they inherit an enormous amount of money. Sent out into the world during the Roaring Twenties to find husbands, the Bryant sisters instead find out about themselves as they develop into complicated and strong women. Then the Wall Street Crash of 1929 reverse their fortunes yet again. An exhilarating and thoughtful novel about the love, the ties of blood and the effects of money, revolving around the lives of four sisters between the world wars.
