Book Feature - The Mayfair Bookshop by Eliza Knight

HBL Note: I’ve SO been looking forward to USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight’s latest novel, THE MAYFAIR BOOKSHOP, a dual-narrative story about scandalous socialite and author Nancy Mitford. Did you read The Bookseller’s Secret by Michelle Gable and think, man, I would really love to read more about Nancy Mitford? If so, this is the novel for you! This novel alternates between Nancy MItford in 1938 and book curator, Lucy St. Clair, and her first edition of Nancy’s book with a mysterious inscription from the author.

From the publisher:

1938: She was one of the six sparkling Mitford sisters, known for her stinging quips, stylish dress, and bright green eyes. But Nancy Mitford’s seemingly dazzling life was really one of turmoil: with a perpetually unfaithful and broke husband, two Nazi sympathizer sisters, and her hopes of motherhood dashed forever. With war imminent, Nancy finds respite by taking a job at the Heywood Hill Bookshop in Mayfair, hoping to make ends meet, and discovers a new life.

Present Day: When book curator Lucy St. Clair lands a gig working at Heywood Hill she can’t get on the plane fast enough. Not only can she start the healing process from the loss of her mother, it’s a dream come true to set foot in the legendary store. Doubly exciting: she brings with her a first edition of Nancy’s work, one with a somewhat mysterious inscription from the author. Soon, she discovers her life and Nancy’s are intertwined, and it all comes back to the little London bookshop—a place that changes the lives of two women from different eras in the most surprising ways.
