Girl from the Savoy
Synopsis
The Great War is over, but its aftermath still shadows everyone at London's Savoy Hotel. Dolly, the hotel's newest chambermaid, spends her days close to the glittering guests she dreams of joining, idolizing stage star Loretta May from a distance. Loretta, the daughter of an earl, has walked away from the life expected of her to perform on her own terms — but she is guarding a secret that could undo everything she's built.
When Dolly's path crosses Loretta's, the two women's very different worlds collide, and both are forced to reckon with the losses of the war years before either can move forward. Girl from the Savoy is a novel about reinvention in 1920s London, and the friendships that make it possible.
