The author of The Gown returns with another enthralling and
royal-adjacent historical novel - as the lives of three very
different residents of London's historic Blue Lion hotel converge
in a potentially explosive climax on the day of Queen Elizabeth's
Coronation. Perfect for fans of The Crown.
............................. London, 1953. A new Queen is about to
be crowned, and at the historic Blue Lion Hotel, the lives of three
residents are about to change in unexpected ways. Edie Howard,
owner of the hotel, needs a miracle to rescue it from closure. Now,
it will become a sought after spot as the young Queen's carriage
passes by on Coronation Day, offering Edie the chance to save her
business from financial ruin. Stella Donati, an Italian
photographer and Holocaust survivor, lives at the Blue Lion. Her
coveted position at Picture Weekly magazine opens a different
world, giving her a purpose she thought she had lost with
everything else she knew. James Geddes, a gifted artist, has
struggled to make his mark since his return from active service in
the war in a world that disdains his Indian heritage. The Blue Lion
affords him sanctuary and a welcome. Yet as his friendship with
Edie deepens, he begins to suspect that something is badly amiss.
When anonymous threats focus on Coronation Day, Edie, Stella and
James are determined to save their home, their livelihoods, and to
expose those who seek to destroy them and the joyful promise of
Coronation Year. ............................. Don't miss The Gown
