The reader is taken on a fascinating tour of Anglo-American high finance over the past two centuries, with detours into Canadian, German & Japanese finance. As the point of departure for his colourful, panoramic survey, Ron Chernow poses a historic riddle: Why did the great financial dynasties
- the Rothschilds, Barings, Morgans & Warburgs
- flare so brilliantly in the 19th & 20th centuries & then enter into a precipitous decline? Why did such heavyweights give way to more anonymous financial conglomerates, &, most curious of all, why have small investors, banded together in mutual funds, suddenly inherited the financial earth?

It is London in the late 1930s, & into a coterie of rather grand early-middle-aged people the sixteen-year-old orphan Portia is plunged beyond her depth. Disconcertingly vulnerable, Portia is manifestly trying to understand what is going on around her & looking for something that is not there. Evident victim, she is also an inadvertent victimiser
- her impossible lovingness & austere trust being too much for her admirer Eddie, who is himself defensive & uncomfortable in this society which has managed to bring them together. In the midst of the rising tension is set perhaps Elizabeth Bowen's most brilliant piece of social comedy, when, at a seaside villa full of rollicking young people, Portia experiences at least temporary relief from the misery Eddie seems determined to bring her.
