An utterly captivating insight into these fascinating women and the times they lived in, The Guinness Girls: A Hint of Scandal is an absolute page-turner. The Irish Independent praised it as "masterfully and glamorously told," while the Sunday Business Post deemed it "essential reading for history and gossip lovers alike." This enthralling tale will dazzle and delight readers, reminiscent of the drama of The Crown. With its lavish descriptions and glorious insight into this truly fascinating family, The Guinness Girls: A Hint of Scandal is sure to captivate fans of historical fiction. Swirl and Thread described it as "as engrossing and page-turning as the first [book]." Louise O'Neill's portrayal of the three privileged Guinness sisters, Aileen, Maureen, and Oonagh, as they navigate the challenges of married life is both poignant and relatable. As they settle into their roles as wives and mothers, they quickly discover that their gilded upbringing could not have prepared them for the realities of married life. Aileen finds herself in Luttrellstown Castle outside Dublin, where marriage offers far less than she had expected. Maureen experiences intense passion and fierce rows in the crumbling Clandeboye in Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, Oonagh's dream of romantic love in London is shattered by her husband's lies. As 1930s Britain becomes increasingly politically polarised, the sisters' close friends, the Mitfords, find themselves under the media glare, causing the Guinness women to examine their own lives. Inspired by true-life events, The Guinness Girls: A Hint of Scandal is a sweeping, epic novel of Ireland and Britain in the grip of change, and a story of how three women who wanted for nothing were about to learn that they couldn't have everything.
