Reseña del libro "A Great Beauty (en Inglés)"

1920 – As the war of Independence rages throughout Ireland, Michael Collins is the most wanted man in the empire. He lives a life in hiding, outsmarting the authorities -a figure of mystery and intrigue very few even know what he looks like.) Michael’s only escape is to Kitty Kiernan, his best friend’s sweetheart. When Michael finds himself falling in love with the complex and enigmatic Kitty, the consequences for both of them, their friends and Ireland will be dramatic.Lady Hazel Lavery, wife of famous artist Sir John Lavery, is considered the most beautiful and charming society hostess in London. An American, haunted by a tragic past, Hazel is determined to use her political friendships with men like Winston Churchill to bring peace to Ireland. When a truce is finally declared, the Laverys offer their Kensington mansion to the Irish Delegation to act as a go between with the British Government.When Michael, recently engaged to Kitty, arrives in London as part of the peace delegation, he finds himself the centre of intense public fascination. When Hazel and Michael meet there is an instant attraction despite their differences in class and backgrounds. Hazel takes Michael under her wing and navigates him through London high society. Soon the pair are engulfed in rumours of an affair and accusations of treason and that Michael has been seduced by the glamour of London and by Hazel. As Ireland veers towards civil war, Kitty despairs at the infatuation between Michael and Hazel but is determined to fight for him. As Hazel, Michael and Kitty arrive in Dublin that fateful week in August 1922 the Civil War is at it’s zenith – and this love triangle is about to implode with devastating results.
