Book news: Melting the Snow on Hester Street by Daisy Waugh
19 Feb
The 1920s and 30s are my favourite historical fiction eras so Daisy Waugh’s new release immediately caught my eye. It sounds like a fabulous and dramatic read with plenty of 1920s glamour. Melting the Snow on Hester Street is released on 28th March in hardback and ebook formats and I’ll definitely be adding it to my ‘to read’ pile!
Rich. Beautiful. Damned.
It is the blistering summer of 1929 and Hollywood’s glamorous set appear to have it all. Everybody everywhere is living the Hollywood dream, including the elegant and charming, high-society couple, actor and actress Maximilian and Eleanor Beecham. But beneath the sophistication and glamour their insecure and unhappy marriage is on the brink of divorce and their finances are teetering on a knife’s edge after a series of failed films.
When the creditors come in to take possession of the house, it seems all is lost and they have nowhere to turn but into the arms of their waiting lovers.
But when they receive an invitation to one of the legendary weekend house parties at Hearst Castle – which they know will be filled every Hollywood big-shot around – they cannot resist one last shot of making it in the film industry. With gossip, glamour, scandal and decadence the party is the epitome of the Golden Era, but for Maximilian and Eleanor the time has come to make a decision that will change their future.
Will they sacrifice everything for fame and fortune or can Eleanor and Maximilian learn to love each other again?
