Critics Review
The Other Guinness Girl is the best in the series so far. While still set in glittering high society, Hourican adjusts her lens to focus on the stain that created so much ghoulish sentiment in the lead-up to World War II * SUNDAY BUSINESS POST *
Through the author’s mix of meticulous research and imagination, we get behind the scenes of London’s high society […] It’s a fascinating read * SUNDAY INDEPENDENT *
The Other Guinness Girl: A Question of Honour is another splendid and highly enjoyable read from Emily Hourican. Using a mix of fact and fiction, it captures the essence of the 1930s and is immersive in its descriptions. All the individual characters are very much brought to life, encouraging readers to further explore the history of this extraordinary family * SWIRL AND THREAD *
