Perfect for fans of The Crown and Downton Abbey, Hazel Gaynor's The Last Lifeboat is a breathtaking, glamorous, and escapist read. Set in 1938, the novel follows Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy, the daughter of the US ambassador, as she navigates the elite circles of society while falling for Duke-in-waiting Billy Cavendish, a man her parents will never approve of. Across the city, Lady Brigid Guinness, the sister of the Duke of Cambridge, has no interest in love or society connections. However, her ambitious brother-in-law has other plans and is determined to engineer a match with a German prince.
When Kathleen and Brigid are invited to an exclusive gathering at a country estate, they form an unlikely friendship. The stuck-up aristocrat and the brash American quickly discover that beneath the group's façade of politeness, nothing is as it seems. As the days at Kelvedon Hall pass in a haze of sunshine, secrecy, and surprising revelations, Kick and Brigid begin to rethink their hopes and plans for the future. Do they still want what they once did? And with the world around them constantly shifting, as war in Europe looms, will they ever be able to have it?
The Last Lifeboat is a captivating tale of friendship, love, and ambition set against the backdrop of a tumultuous time in history. With its vivid descriptions, intricate characters, and unexpected twists, it is sure to captivate readers who are looking for a luxurious and entertaining escape.
