"""The Mayfair Bookshop is a moving, touching tale of a Bright Young Thing turned bookseller/author and her quest to find fulfillment, inspiration, and love in the chaos of the WWII home front. Eliza Knight brings Nancy Mitford to life as an appealing and uncertain young heroine in the days before she is burnished by fame and success--you cannot help but cheer her toward her destiny!"" -- Kate Quinn ""A fascinating view of a pivotal moment in history told from the perspective of an extraordinary woman at the heart of it all. Filled with intrigue, heartbreak, passion, and daring, Eliza Knight beautifully celebrates the life and influence of Nancy Mitford. Vivid and unforgettable!"" -- Chanel Cleeton, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, on The Mayfair Bookshop ""Knight brings to life the fascinating story of Nancy Mitford...Interspersed with stories from Nancy's point of view is a charming, contemporary, literary mystery...Readers will love the appearance of literary notables like Evelyn Waugh and enjoy the glimpse into the life of one of England's most fascinating (and scandal-ridden) families."" -- Booklist on The Mayfair Bookshop ""Just as Adele Astaire received standing ovations for her performances, so too does Eliza Knight deserve to be similarly acclaimed for this book. I can't believe I'd never heard of this incredible woman and I loved how the novel shone a well-deserved spotlight on this less famous but exceptionally talented Astaire sibling. Bravo Eliza Knight--and please take a bow. You've written a showstopper of a story."" -- Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author, on Starring Adele Astaire ""Starring Adele Astaire peels back the layers on Adele Astaire's life beyond the stage while highlighting how ferociously an intrepid dreamer must fight for an edge into the spotlight. Eliza Knight's in-depth research brings these stories to life in exquisite, vibrant detail that will captivate readers everywhere."" -- Madeline Martin, New York Times and international bestselling author"
