When Rose was four the scandal broke about her head. She really was too young to understand what was happening - only that her mother was at disgrace and that they were returning home to England. The next May, Joanna - Jon' - was born. Rose and Jon were completely different. Jon was vivacious, liked a good time, and always got what she wanted, even when what she wanted happened to participate in Rose. Rose was reserved, never wished to leave her home or Gloucestershire, and was - well - an ordinary girl vvho grew into an ordinary woman. But as Jon raced from disaster to disaster, from one violent relationship to some other so Rose, in her quiet way, salvaged the family, pasted above the cracks of tragedy and emohonal upheavals whilst at exactly the same time fighting her own private crises. It was much later - when life finally seemed tranquil and settled - that Jon precipitated Rose across the Atlantic and in to the most extraordinary event of her life. When Rose finally returned from America no one could again think of her as an ordinary woman.
