'Glorious! Glamorous, feisty women living through shifting times.
Wonderful escapism' TRACY REES From the top ten bestselling author
of The Glorious Guinness Girls, a stunning new novel of secrets,
scandals and passions which follows the three enigmatic Guinness
sisters, set in Ireland and London in the fascinating 1930s. 'An
utterly captivating insight into these fascinating women and the
times they lived in ... it's an absolute page-turner' Irish
Independent 'Fans of Downton Abbey will adore this, and it would be
surprising if the book weren't made into a luscious mini-series'
The Sunday Times on The Glorious Guinness Girls As Aileen, Maureen
and Oonagh - the three privileged Guinness sisters, darlings of
society in Dublin and London - settle into becoming wives and
mothers, they quickly discover that their gilded upbringing could
not have prepared them for the realities of married life. For the
eldest, Aileen, in Luttrellstown Castle outside Dublin, being
married offers far less than she had expected; for outspoken
Maureen, in the crumbling Clandeboye in Northern Ireland, marriage
means intense passion, but fierce rows; while Oonagh's dream of
romantic love in London is shattered by her husband's lies. And as
1930s Britain becomes increasingly politically polarised, the
sisters' close friends, the Mitfords, find themselves under the
media glare - causing the Guinness women to examine their own
lives. Inspired by true-life events, The Guinness Girls: A Hint of
Scandal is a sweeping, epic novel of 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.
Praise for The Glorious Guinness Girls: 'If, like me, you have
binge-watched Bridgerton then this book is bound to be your cup of
tea' Scribbles by Kat 'A captivating and page-turning novel about a
fascinating family. Fantastic' Sinead Moriarty 'The Glorious
Guinness Girls has already been compared, and rightly so, to
Downton Abbey. The two share a delicious comfort-blanket quality,
only in the book's case, you do not need to wait until Sunday
evenings before availing of its escapist properties. The story
combines the intimacy of a family drama, set against the most
opulent of backdrops, with sweeping historical themes. The tragic
fragility of so many of the Guinness Girls' set - that ability to
burn bright, but burn fast, is perfectly captured here' Irish
Independent 'A must for all Downton Abbey fans, The Glorious
Guinness Girls is a gorgeous book, a captivating tale about a young
girl caught up in the lifestyle of a family that continues to
fascinate - the Guinness Family. A joy to read' Swirl and Thread
