ARISTOCRAT, AUTHOR, BOOKSELLER AND SPY—A THRILLING NOVEL ABOUT THE ICONIC NANCY MITFORD DURING WWII
In 1942, London, Nancy Mitford is worried about more than air raids and German spies. Still recovering from a devastating loss, the once sparkling Bright Young Thing is estranged from her husband, her allowance has been cut, and she's given up her writing career. On top of this, her five beautiful but infamous sisters continue making headlines with their controversial politics.
Eager for distraction and desperate for income, Nancy jumps at the chance to manage the Heywood Hill bookshop while the owner is away at war. Between the shop's brisk business and the literary salons she hosts for her eccentric friends, Nancy's life seems on the upswing. But when a mysterious French officer insists that she has a story to tell, Nancy must decide if picking up the pen again and revealing all is worth the price she might be forced to pay.
Eighty years later, Heywood Hill is abuzz with the hunt for a lost wartime manuscript written by Nancy Mitford. For one woman desperately in need of a change, the search will reveal not only a new side to Nancy, but an even more surprising link between the past and present…

There is Nancy Mitford and Kate Cabot, both are authors in different eras and both are having trouble writing their next book.
When Kate goes to London and discovers the book store that the famous Nancy Mitford worked at during the war, she is intrigued and just the thought of a missing manuscript has Kate more than interested.
There are secrets , mystery and romance as the pages fly by.
I enjoyed learning about the Mitford sisters , I knew of them but not much about them. The epilogue at the end was much appreciated.
Michelle Gable did a wonderful job with all the dialogue and I felt that I was right there in the bookshop. I am off to look up Michelle's other books.

Katie's sections are fairly bland; she's stuck in a writer's block and meets Simon, a head-school teacher, after breaking up with her long-term fiance. Her sections were a reflection of Nancy Mitford's The Pursuit of Love, though not nearly as interesting.
I loved the parts that deal with Nancy and her family and friends which include the writer Evelyn Waugh among others. The Mitfords are a fascinating family: one sister married the Duke of Devonshire and another was supposedly Hitler's mistress. Another was jailed for Fascist leanings. Nancy was the oldest, brought up in a ramshackle estate though her father was titled. She ran with a witty circle of English elites and Ms. Gable does a very nice job with dialogue and the life they lived in wartorn London society. I give the book 3 1/2 stars based on the Mitford sections.
