Dinah Slade is a young Englishwoman of immense vitality, great sensual power, and fierce ambition. When the handsome and powerful Paul Van Zale commits the imprudence of falling in love with her, her life and desires become intertwined with the fate of his great American banking family. Among the new acquaintances she makes is Paul’s wife, with whom, much to Dinah’s shock and dismay, Paul manages an almost perfect marriage. The characters’ lives are intertwined with such mastery that listeners will be captivated with The Rich Are Different from the very first word until the astonishing climax.

Reviews

“Grippingly readable.”

“Susan Howatch has surpassed herself. This is a mighty book.”

“One of the most original novelists writing today.”

“[Wanda McCaddon] captures the essence of the six first-person narratives comprising the story, to the point of making recognizable each character’s voice as related by the others. ”
