Synopsis

England, 1905. The daughter of a poor shopkeeper, Angel Deverell refuses to accept her humble place in society. Determined to rise to better things, she embarks on a literary career and starts to churn out shallow melodramatic romances which she considers to be masterpieces of literary art. Thanks to her publisher, Theo, and a marked lack of discrimination in the book-buying public, her novels prove to be an immense success. Within no time at all the fortunate Miss Deverell has wealth, social standing and a dream home. She also discovers love, in the form of avant-garde artist Esmé, and her happiness is complete. But surely such success cannot endure...
