December Love by Robert Hichens Mystery and romance ensue when the conversation between Alick Craven and his mentor Francis Braybrooke one day turns to Lady Adela Sellingworth, and her stolen jewels. A classical take on the Real Housewives – a beautiful but ageing American heiress battles for the attention of a young man. Ageing gracefully may not be as easy as it seems when your confidence and power are shaken. 'December Love' reflects the struggle to conform the social expectations of ageing with how old we actually feel. Excerpt from December Love Alick Craven, who was something in the Foreign Office, had been living in London, except for an interval of military service during the war, for several years, and had plenty of interesting friends and acquaintances, when one autumn day, in a club, Francis Braybrooke, who knew everybody, sat down beside him and began, as his way was, talking of people.
