For fans of Downton Abbey, Gosford Park, and After the Party, this captivating novel offers a captivating blend of duty, scandal, and a mother's desperate attempt to protect her sons from a secret that will destroy them. Set in 1921, Jean Buckman, a young and innocent American heiress, arrives in England to find a society ravaged by war but steadfastly clinging to the status quo. She marries Edward Warre, an engaging but complex man, and the owner of a once-great but now struggling estate. As their marriage falters, Jean spends her summers in the South of France, where she embarks on a passionate affair that will have far-reaching consequences for her life.

Two sons arrive, the oldest, heir to the estate, is not the true bloodline. However, Edward needs Jean's money to survive, and Jean needs her husband's silence. The Other Side of Paradise is a heart-breaking story of a family torn apart by the shackles of inheritance and the rules imposed upon them by a society that cannot face the truth. With gorgeously fluid prose that never snags on the period detail, Beaumont is a debut writer with a bold future.

Jessica Fellowes, author of The Mitford Murders, praised The Other Side of Paradise as "a breathtakingly good, heart-breaking and utterly absorbing story." The Telegraph described it as "sumptuously detailed ... razor-sharp social observations and glimmers of catty wit."
