โฆ Synopsis
If you love Jennifer Robson orThe Crownyou will loveNew York Timesbestselling author Karen Harperโs novel about Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
- As the wife of the King George VI and the mother of the future queen, Elizabethโโthe queen motherโโshows a warm, smiling face to the world. But itโs no surprise that Hitler himself calls her the โMost Dangerous Woman in Europe.โ For behind that soft voice and kindly demeanor is a will of steel.
Two years earlier, George was thrust onto the throne when his brother Edward abdicated, determined to marry his divorced, American mistress Mrs. Simpson. Vowing to do whatever it takes to make her husbandโs reign a success, Elizabeth endears herself to the British people, and prevents the former king and his brazen bride from ever again setting foot in Buckingham Palace.
Elizabeth holds many powerful cards, sheโs also hiding damaging secrets about her past and her provenance that could prove to be her undoing.
In this riveting novel of royal secrets and intrigue, Karen Harper lifts the veil on one of the worldโs most fascinating families, and how its โsecret weaponโ of a matriarch maneuvered her way through one of the most dangerous chapters of the century.
