Great Big Beautiful Life
By Emily Henry
Harry Hartog's review
Emily Henry has a knack for writing characters that are so familiar to me, I feel like they are part of my social circle of friends. "Great Big Beautiful Life" honestly surprised me in so many ways, and I was so happy about it. It has all the beautiful, slow emotion and tension that Emily builds up so well between her main characters, Alice and Hayden, but also snippets of an exhilarating and rich life Margaret used to live sprinkled in between the pages. I was intrigued right up until the last chapter and I felt like Alice and Hayden needing to know who, what, where and how Margaret's life brought her into a life of hiding away from the cameras. Dare I say, another delightful Emily Henry filled with her definitive 'joie de vivre'. - Dee, Harry Hartog Macquarie
Description
A dazzling and sweeping new novel from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Emily Henry!
When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it- her big break. And even more rare- a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication.
The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing.
The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she'll choose who'll tell her story.
The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can't put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room.
And it's becoming abundantly clear that their story - just like the tale Margaret's spinning - could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad ... depending on who's telling it.
