New York Times bestselling author Karen White weaves a captivating story of friendship, love, and betrayal that moves between war-torn London during the Blitz and the present day. London, 1939. Beautiful and ambitious Eva Harlow and her American best friend, Precious Dubose, are trying to make their way as fashion models. When Eva falls in love with Graham St. John, an aristocrat and Royal Air Force pilot, she can’t believe her luck—she’s getting everything she ever wanted. Then the Blitz devastates her world, and Eva finds herself slipping into a web of intrigue, spies, and secrets. As Eva struggles to protect her friendship with Precious and everything she holds dear, all it takes is one unwary moment to change their lives forever… London, 2019. American journalist Maddie Warner, whose life has been marked by the tragic loss of her mother, travels to London to interview Precious about her life in pre-WWII London. Maddie has been careful to close herself off to others, but in Precious she recognizes someone whose grief rivals her own—but unlike Maddie, Precious hasn’t allowed it to crush her. Maddie finds herself drawn to both Precious and to Colin, her enigmatic surrogate nephew. As Maddie gets closer to her, she begins to unravel Precious’s haunting past—a story of friendship, betrayal, and the unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

Night and Day
Author: Virginia Woolf
Publisher: Modernista
ISBN: 918094955X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 523
Book Description
Katharine Hilbery, torn between her duty to her family and her desire for intellectual independence, finds herself entangled in a hesitant courtship with Ralph Denham, a persistent suitor who challenges her ideals. Meanwhile, her friend Mary, dedicated to women's suffrage and social reform, grapples with her feelings for Cyril Alardyce, a promising young lawyer whose commitment to social justice mirrors her own. Published in 1919, Night and Day is Virginia Woolf's exploration of the societal constraints faced by women and the evolving dynamics of relationships amidst shifting cultural landscapes. Departing from the experimental techniques of her later works, this novel offers a more conventional narrative structure while still showcasing Woolf's keen insight into human emotions and societal norms. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882–1941] was an English author. With novels like Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she became a leading figure of modernism and is considered one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century. As a thinker, with essays like A Room of One’s Own [1929], Woolf has influenced the women’s movement in many countries.
