What to expect
1960. Shy eighteen-year-old Jean is resigned to yet another long empty summer stretching out before her, working for her father at the stables and dreaming of a life so different from her own.
Until one day, Vivienne Fenwick's sleek forest-green motor car squeals onto the dusty yard. With large sunglasses perched on top of a Parisian black bob, Vivienne is the most glamourous woman Jean has ever seen.
Along with her dashing husband Robert, Vivienne is a professional racing driver. They drive fast cars and sip champagne on beautiful yachts - and, most importantly, they like to win. When they ask Jean to be their new assistant for the summer, Jean jumps at the chance to leave behind the quiet English countryside for the sparkling azure sea and winding, pine-scented roads of Greece.
But the closer she gets to Vivienne and Robert, the more she becomes entrenched in their tempestuous relationship - and their secrets. And as they spend their days competing in ever more perilous mountain races and their nights in a haze of ouzo-drenched seduction, Jean starts to wonder: what price would she pay to keep her new life?
