Book
What red was : a novel / Rosie Price.
When Kate Quaile meets Max Rippon in the first week of university, so begins a life-changing friendship. Over the next four years, the two become inseparable. For him, she breaks her solitude; for her, he leaves his busy circles behind. But knowing Max means knowing his family: the wealthy Rippons - all generosity, social ease, and quiet repression. Theirs is a world very different from that of Kate's own upbringing, and yet she soon finds herself drawn into their gilded lives and the secrets that lie beneath. Until one evening, at a summer party at the Rippon home just after graduation, her life is shattered in a bedroom while the music plays on downstairs.
