Synopsis

**From London to Ireland during the 1920s, this glorious, gripping, and richly textured story takes us to the heart of the remarkable real-life story of the Guinness Girls-perfect for fans of *Downton Abbey* and *Julian Fellowes' Belgravia*.** Descendants of the founder of the Guinness beer empire, they were the toast of 1920s high society, darlings of the press, with not a care in the world. But Felicity knows better. Sent to live with them as a child because her mother could no longer care for her, she grows up as the sisters' companion. Both an outsider and a part of the family, she witnesses the complex lives upstairs and downstairs, sees the compromises and sacrifices beneath the glamorous surface. Then, at a party one summer's evening, something happens that sends shock waves through the entire household. Inspired by a remarkable true story and fascinating real events, ***The Glorious Guinness Girls*** is an unforgettable novel about the haves and have-nots, one that will make you ask if where you find yourself is where you truly belong.
