Im achten Roman der The Performers Familiensaga sind die Leben von Miriam Da Silva und Claudette, Enkelin des berüchtigten Lilith dazu bestimmt, zu kreuzen. Miriam, schön und reichhaltig, tanzte beim ersten Ball der Saison 1892, während Claudette verzweifelt eine Möglichkeit des Überlebens in Londoner Backstreet zu finden, alles ihre Charms zu spielen und einen Platz auf der Bühne des Gaiety Theaters gewonnen. Ihre Wege durchkreuzten im Haus von Frau Lovibond – ein Haus, dessen Furnier von Eleganz alle sordid Schraubstöcke der viktorianischen Unterwelt verborgen.
