'An utterly captivating insight into these fascinating women and
the times they lived in ... it's an absolute page-turner' Irish
Independent 'Masterfully and glamorously told ... essential reading
for history and gossip lovers alike' Sunday Business Post 'An
enthralling tale that will dazzle and delight ... If you loved the
drama of The Crown, then you will adore The Guinness Girls: A Hint
of Scandal' Swirl and Thread 'Engrossing and page-turning ... I
loved it' Louise O'Neill As Aileen, Maureen and Oonagh - the three
privileged Guinness sisters, darlings of 1930s society - settle
into becoming wives and mothers, they quickly discover that their
gilded upbringing has not prepared them for the realities of
married life. At Dublin's Luttrellstown Castle, practical Aileen
has already run out of things to say to her husband. Outspoken
Maureen is very much in love but feels isolated at the crumbling
Clandeboye estate in Northern Ireland. And, as romantic Oonagh's
dreams of happiness in London are crushed by her husband's lies,
she seeks comfort in her friends - but can they be trusted? As the
sisters deal with desire and betrayal amidst vicious society
gossip, their close friends, the Mitfords, find themselves under
the media glare - and the Guinness women are forced to examine
their place in this quickly-changing world. Inspired by true-life
events, The Guinness Girls: A Hint of Scandal is a dazzling,
page-turning novel about Ireland and Britain in the grip of change,
and a story of how three women who wanted for nothing were about to
learn that they couldn't have everything.
