Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy, recently arrived from Boston, is already a
huge hit in 1930s London society. As the daughter of the US
ambassador, she is at the centre of the most elite social circles.
But when she falls for a duke-in-waiting, she realises there are
plenty of people who think she doesn't belong. Lady Brigid Guinness
has no interest in love, marriage or society connections. She
certainly doesn't want to befriend a brash American. But her
brother-in-law Chips Channon, always seeking to increase his
political capital, has other ideas - and invites the Kennedys to
join his family, Brigid included, and some friends for a holiday at
his country estate. At Kelvedon Hall, the two young women bond as
Chips pushes Brigid towards a match with a dull German prince and
Kick desperately tries to keep hope alive for her budding romance.
Meanwhile, the other guests are caught up in their own drama:
marriages are on the rocks, friendships and alliances are being
forged, war is looming and political intrigue lurks just beneath
the surface. By the time their week in Essex has ended, both Kick
and Brigid realise that their world is changing rapidly, and
nothing will be as it was. Inspired by true-life events, An
Invitation to the Kennedys is a captivating page-turner from the
bestselling author of the Guinness Girls series.
