“There’s a fine line between gossip and history, when one is
talking about kings.” Sophie Fitzosborne lives in a crumbling castle in the tiny
island kingdom of Montmaray with her eccentric and
impoverished royal family. When she receives a journal for
her sixteenth birthday, Sophie decides to chronicle
day-to-day life on the island. But this is 1936, and the
news that trickles in from the mainland reveals a world on
the brink of war. The politics of Europe seem far away from
their remote island—until two German officers land a boat on
Montmaray. And then suddenly politics become very personal
indeed. A Brief History of Montmaray is a heart-stopping tale
of loyalty, love, and loss, and of fighting to hold on to
home when the world is exploding all around you.
