My favourite read of the summer holidays. With a backdrop of departure for war, this spans the implications of people's passions, babies born, and everyone lying to their kids in small town Amercia. Focusing on two families, it addresses love, loss, and redemption. The trauma of war on veterans and their families flows through generations.
Hilary Mantel wrote this memoir. It is comprehensive as was her life and her writing. A book to dip in and out of. Best read chapter by chapter.
Three generations across the backdrop of two wars. The guests and scandals of politicians, royalty, and celebrities. This biography of the family that founded the Savoy is an entertaining lesson in history.
A Christmas gift to combat the rain. Raw characters and story. Passed to and read by three other extended family members over the summer. Highly recommend.
Unexpectedly cativating.
Sliding Doors type scenarios.
