Vincenzi was also a fashion journalist who worked for various publications, including the Daily Mirror and Vogue. [2] Personal life [ edit ] She had such a generous gift of friendship, quite blind to whether someone was the boss or just making her a cup of tea. And that is why so many people in publishing will be devastated by her loss. Throughout her life – which like everyone’s, had its own tragedies and pitfalls – Penny always looked for hope and joy and the best way forward, which is perhaps why her huge fan base crossed generations and never deserted her. I will miss her every day. She was a storyteller of such natural talent.”Celia Lytton is the strong-willed and beautiful daughter of some wealthy aristocrats and she has grown accustomed of getting her own way. She moves through life making some tough and often dangerous choices that affect herself as well as others. It was the fashion world that provided material for Vincenzi’s novels, which featured indomitable women fighting men in the boardroom to rescue glamorous businesses from the brink of collapse and, in the process, falling in love. As an author I so admired her ability to weave together huge, epic plot lines and create such satisfying books full of real life, wit and passion,” Kinsella added. “She was like one of her own novels: once you were in her company you didn’t want to say goodbye. I will really miss her.” No Angel: This is a novel themed on sweeping saga of family politics, power, love story, and passion bound drama. Cecilia Lytton the beautiful and strong-willed girl of wealthy aristocrats moves through her life making some tough and dangerous decisions. These decisions not only affect her but also change her husband, Oliver, her children; Sylvia Miller whose life has been changed by intervention, as well as Oliver elder sister who is not all she claims to be; and Sebastian Brooke.

These are three best books by Penny Vincenzi. No Angel (2000), Something Dangerous (2001), Into Temptation (2002) Her break as a novelist came when she was commissioned to interview Cooper. As she finished her questions, Vincenzi quipped: “I want to write this kind of nonsense too.” Cooper introduced Vincenzi to her agent, Desmond Elliott. Her debut novel, Old Sins, was cooked up over a long lunch with Elliott at Fortnum & Mason in 1988. It was bought by Anthony Cheetham at Century Hutchinson for a six-figure advance on the basis of the first three chapters and marked Vincenzi’s move from journalism, a career she had pursued since leaving a “ posh secretarial college in London” for Vogue nearly three decades before.

For instance, No Angel published in 2000 was announced the winner of 2003 RT Reviewers Choice Award under fictionalized Saga category. Subsequently, A Perfect Heritage, the latest novel by the author was nominated as 2015 Library Journal. BEST PENNY VINCENZI BOOKSMy question at the close of the book was this? In the entire scheme of things, was Cassia's life improved by her inheritance? or gradually destroyed? I seem to feel that it wasn't the "cash" that was the primary cause for strife ... but both Cassia's and Edward's inability to embrace their personal truths. Everything else slowly fell like a landslide. Penny started her career as a junior secretary for Vogue magazine in the year 1962, and went on to work for Tatler, The Daily Mirror, and later as a Fashion and Beauty Editor on magazines like Woman’s Own, Honey, and Nova. After working for a year with The Daily Mirror, was working under Marjorie Proops, the women’s editor, who knowing about her journalistic ambitions, allowed her to aid in small tasks and research. Then she became a Deputy Editor of Options and Contributing Editor of Cosmopolitan.

I found Edward an unlikeable character, his insecurities lead him to treat Cassia a little better than a servant,who despite her money has to plead with him to hire a nanny. Like Oliver (her husband) and their kids, as well as Sylvia Miller, whose life becomes transformed by Celia’s intrusion. There’s also Oliver’s daunting older sister that ain’t that she seems to be and Sebastian Brooke, for whom Celia makes the most dangerous choice of all.
