The Queen's Secret: A Novel of England's World War II Queen by Karen Harper 384 pages
An exquisitely excellent book. OMgosh! You will feel as though you are going through the air raids right along with them. The juicy secrets that will be told will make your jaw drop, it did mine. The writing will carry you back to the 1930s and 40s and give you insight into so many venues - political, social and social politics. You will feel as though you can hear the planes overhead you will be that captivated by this story it is riveting and you will not be able to put this one down. I had to make myself stop reading and sleep but you won't want to. This book is a delicious blend of the lives of the Royals, Winston Churchill, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, Hitler's Blitzkrieg and the Allies retaliation along with some very human emotions and frailties and some of the boldest happenings and yes, slap your face because you won't see it coming secrets that will have you telling everyone you know about this book. Highly recommended. A good showing of no matter how high one may seem to be in life there is always a skeleton or several in every closet. Teens to adults, I keep forgetting that tweens are the new 20s so maybe mature Middle Schoolers, too, though, I would hope that youngsters would keep the secrets with the decorum they call for. Great book.
