From Simon & Schuster, Odd Girl Out is Elizabeth Jane Howard's latest masterpiece.

Anne and Edmund Cornhill lead idyllic existence all just outside of London -- until they open their hearts to Arabella, the "lost little rich girl" whose self-indulgent mother -- once married to Edmund's father -- wants a holiday from her burdensome twenty-two-year-old daughter. But what begins as a propitious arrangement spirals into a bewildering tangle of love, loneliness, and longing.
