Pútavý a strhujúci historický román Kráľovské tajomstvo Windsorovcov

Sumár recenzie
V strhujúcom historickom románe Kráľovské tajomstvo Windsorovcov autorka Christine Wells sleduje mladú Cleo Davenportovú, ktorá v exotickej Káhire pátra po svojej minulosti a odhaľuje šokujúce indície o možnom prepojení s britskou kráľovskou rodinou. Dej zasadený do obdobia prvej a druhej svetovej vojny skúma témy identity, rodinných tajomstiev a túžby po nezávislosti, keď sa Cleo snaží presadiť ako návrhárka šperkov v spoločnosti, ktorá od žien očakáva len manželstvo a materstvo. Autorka, ktorá si pri písaní dôkladne naštudovala prostredie luxusných hotelov, módnych domov a šperkárskych dielní, kombinovala v knihe fakty s fikciou; slovenský preklad pripravil Nikoleta Frantová.
