Amber Vrontsky is the heiress to the Pickford dynasty, presided over by the formidable Blanche. Obsessed with social climbing, Blanche wants a titled husband for her granddaughter - something which, despite her immense wealth, she has failed to secure. Free-spirited Amber is intent on forging her own artistic career with the silk she loves so much. Unable to disobey Blanche, however, she becomes a debutante - and enters a world of illicit affairs, drug-taking, gambling, lavender marriages and corruption. From aristocratic London to the boutiques of Paris and the Nazi-controlled streets of Berlin, the scandal and glamour of this tumultuous period of history is revealed.
