A Kiss From Mr Fitzgerald

PRAISE FOR NATASHA LESTER… ‘A fantastically engrossing story. I love it’ KELLY RIMMER ‘Intrigue, heartbreak… I cannot tell you how much I loved this book’ RACHEL BURTON ‘A gorgeously rich and romantic novel’ KATE FORSYTH A Kiss From Mr Fitzgerald is a deliciously evocative love story of a small-town girl with big ambitions in 1920s New York. Perfect for fans of The Paris Wife , Gill Paul, Kate Furnivall and Penny Vincenzi. *** It’s the Roaring Twenties in the Manhattan of gin, jazz and prosperity. Women wear makeup and hitched hemlines and enjoy a new freedom to vote and work. Not so for Evelyn Lockhart , who is forbidden from pursuing her passion to become one of the first female doctors. Chasing her dream will mean turning her back on her family: her competitive sister, Viola , her conservative parents, and the childhood best friend she is expected to marry, Charlie . In a desperate attempt to support herself through Columbia University’s medical school, Evie auditions for the infamous late-night Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway. But if she gets the part, what will it mean for her fledgling relationship with Upper East Side banker Thomas Whitman – a man Evie thinks she could fall in love with, if only she lived a life less scandalous . . . Captivating, heartwarming, and inspiring A Kiss From Mr Fitzgerald stars a young woman ahead of her time amid the fragile hearts and glamour of Jazz Age New York.
