Booknotes are a short book blurb given by the Port Library's Director, Pat Heidrick, Saturday mornings around 8:30 AM on KVSV 105.5 radio. Below is an exclusive web edition for you to enjoy!
Sophie Kinsella, author of the wildly popular Shopaholic series, takes an unconventional turn in the latest novel. Lara Lington is nursing a broken heart and trying to keep her business afloat, but - not so typically - she is also dealing with the ghost of her great-aunt Sadie. Sadie appears as a young woman, a feisty flapper, who wants Lara's help finding a treasured beaded necklace.
Lara's search leads her to London's National Gallery, where a famous portrait holds the key to the necklace's origins - and to her wealthy uncle, whose rapid rise to success may have received an unexpected boost.
As Lara helps Sadie find her peace, Sadie helps Lara learn to enjoy life again. With Sadie's urging, Lara embarks on a new romance, wears vintage flapper clothing, and even learns the Charleston.
Kinsella's Twenties Girl juggles romance, mystery, and a spirited spirit with thoroughly charming results.
