A very enjoyable historical novel

This novel comes out in the U.S. in August 2018.   Mark your calendar!  I read the British version which has already been published.

Mary Kirk, Bessiewallis Warfield, Diana Spencer…their stories entwine in this historical novel that is largely based on truth.  It is a page turning and fascinating look at life in America and Europe from 1912 until 1997.

Mary and Wallis became friends in their teens;  Wallis married an American pilot; Mary married a French pilot.  Wallis divorced and subsequently married Ernest Simpson. You probably all know who her third husband was… but do you know who Mary married next?  I won’t spoil the book by telling you.

Mary and Wallis’s stories come alive in a glittering London.   The story of Alex and Rachel, who are impacted by Diana’s death, takes place in 1997.  Choices are made by all with implications and consequences.  I truly enjoyed this book and suggest it highly to fans of historical fiction.
