I am a big fan of this author’s work. Historical fiction is probably one of my favorite genres, and I am lucky enough to follow Claire on her social media so I can see some of her work process. It’s exciting to see how books develop. This book was perfect from start to ending. It was fast-paced, with beautifully developed characters, and a brilliant fiction story based on a real story about the real female criminal gang called “the Forty Elephants.”
In the summary of this book you can read: Twenty-year-old Eleanor Mackridge is upset about the future that is planned for her. When she meets a member of the notorious female-led gang the Forty Elephants, she is impressed by these confident women who wear diamonds and fur, drink champagne and gin, and take what they want without asking. Now, she sees a new future for herself: she can work, marry – or steal. After all, men will only let you down. Diamonds are forever.
The characters in this book are truly endearing, and the portrayal of how the gang operates is very intriguing. The author skillfully creates an ambiance that transports you to the London of the 1920s, providing insight into the social and economic situations of women in the post-war era. The author weaves a narrative that delves into the deep desires, fears, and personal struggles of the characters, as well as the strong connection they share with each other, making this book an enjoyable, fast-paced read. I am currently searching for a book signed by the author to add to my collection. I already have two books signed by the same author, and I proudly display them on my bookshelf. I’m really eager to find the third signed book to complete the set. I absolutely admire this author’s work and I can’t wait for Claire’s next book! In this blog, we believe this book deserves a solid five-star rating. 🌟🌟🌟🌟I want to express my gratitude to the publisher and the editorial team for granting me early access to this book. Thank you for this opportunity.
