Historia
As the fourth daughter of the perpetually in-mourning Queen Victoria, Princess Louise’s life is more a gilded prison than a fairy tale. Expected to sit quietly next to her mother with down-cast eyes, Louise vows to escape the stultifying royal court. Blessed with beauty, artistic talent, and a common touch, she creates a life outside the walled-in existence of the palace grounds by attending the National Art Training School—where she shockingly learns to sculpt nude models while falling passionately in love with famed sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm.

1867, Richmond, Virginia: Though she wears the same low-cut purple gown that is the uniform of all the girls who work at Worsham's gambling parlor, Arabella stands apart. It's not merely her statuesque beauty and practiced charm. Even at seventeen, Arabella possesses an unyielding grit, and a resolve to escape her background of struggle and poverty. Collis Huntington, railroad baron and self-made multimillionaire, is drawn to Arabella from their first meeting. Collis is married and 30 years her senior, yet they are well-matched in temperament, and flirtation rapidly escalates into an affair.

Alva defied convention for women of her time, asserting power within her marriage and becoming a leader in the women's suffrage movement.

Resumen del Editor
Fans of The Kennedy Debutante and Next Year in Havana will love Georgie Blalock’s new novel of a world on the cusp of change...set on the eve of World War II in the glittering world of English society and one of the last debutante seasons.
They danced the night away, knowing their world was about to change forever. They were the debutantes of 1939, laughing on the outside, but knowing tragedy - and a war - was just around the corner.
When Valerie de Vere Cole, the niece of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, makes her deep curtsey to the King and Queen of England, she knows she’s part of a world about to end. The daughter of a debt-ridden father and a neglectful mother, Valerie sees firsthand that war is imminent.
Nevertheless, Valerie reinvents herself as a carefree and glittering young society woman, befriending other debutantes from England’s aristocracy as well as the vivacious Eunice Kennedy, daughter of the US Ambassador. Despite her social success, the world’s troubles and Valerie’s fear of loss and loneliness prove impossible to ignore.
How will she navigate her new life when everything in her past has taught her that happiness and stability are as fragile as peace in our time? For the moment she will forget her cares in too much champagne and waltzes. Because very soon, Valerie knows that she must find the inner strength to stand strong and carry on through the challenges of life and love and war.

Sophomore Slump?
I greatly enjoyed Ms. Blalock’s “The Other Windsor Girl” and so I was happy to see “The Last Debutantes” pop up in my recommended feed. Sadly, I didn’t find it as enjoyable as the author’s first effort. It wasn’t until the author’s note at the end that I discovered why. While the protagonist Valerie was a real person, very little is known about her, which is unfortunate given the momentous events she must have observed. But it also hinders her character development and the plot line as the author only had a few details and the dates. Being able to invent and embellish the only known details of a historical personage’s life would be a boon for many authors but Ms. Blalock’s narrative suffered as a result. Valerie was not a very compelling heroine. In fact, she could be downright whiny and obsessive. While her origin story was sad, the fear that her supposedly dark secret would be discovered was ridiculous and overwrought. In the end, Valerie was overshadowed by more dynamic and interesting historic figures. There were many times I had to push through this one because the plot was just boring.
I have not given up on Ms. Blalock. Her next book is due out in September and features the Princess Louise, the rebellious daughter of Queen Victoria. Hopefully with a character that is better documented, her third book will be the charm.
