Romance Historical
Set in 1950s London, The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets
centers around Penelope, the wide- eyed daughter of a
legendary beauty, Talitha, who lost her husband to the war.
Penelope, with her mother and brother, struggles to maintain
their vast and crumbling ancestral home-while postwar London
spins toward the next decade's cultural revolution.
Penelope wants nothing more than to fall in love, and when
her new best friend, Charlotte, a free spirit in the young
society set, drags Penelope into London with all of its
grand parties, she sets in motion great change for them all.
Charlotte's mysterious and attractive brother Harry uses
Penelope to make his American ex-girlfriend jealous, with
unforeseen consequences, and a dashing, wealthy American
movie producer arrives with what might be the key to
Penelope's- and her family's-future happiness. Vibrant,
witty, and filled with vivid historical detail, The Lost
Art of Keeping Secrets is an utterly unique debut novel
about a time and place just slipping into history.
