Description

In the heart of tumultuous times, amidst the grandeur of Victorian opulence, there existed an American socialite whose influence altered the course of the Anglo-Irish treaty: Lady Hazel Lavery

Boston-born Hazel ascended from her Irish roots to become the quintessential Society Queen of Chicago, and later London, where she lived a delicate dance between two worlds: one with her esteemed husband, Sir John Lavery, a portrait artist to royalty, and the other with Michael Collins, the daring Irish rebel whose fiery spirit ignited her heart. Together, they formed a love triangle that echoed through the corridors of power at 10 Downing Street, London.

Hazel's wit and charm touched on the lives of the who's-who of England including Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw and Evelyn Waugh. The image of her memorable face graced the Irish note for close to half-a-century.


ADVANCED PRAISE

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"The Many Lives & Loves of Hazel Lavery sweeps the reader along in a riveting tale of thwarted desires, crushing duty, and inescapable destiny. Lois Cahall captures beautifully the echoes of past conflicts resonating anew."

- Amanda Foreman, author of the prize-winning bestsellers, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and A World on Fire: An Epic History of Two Nations Divided

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Lois Cahall is a storyteller of verve and vibrant enthusiasm, and that is precisely who is needed to tell the tale of a woman who lived so many lives on a worldwide stage... Cahall tells the story with evident love and admiration for her intrepid subject, and Hazel Lavery is a name that we should all know."

- Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Margaret Fuller

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I love reading historical fiction about people who actually lived. This is one such book, and what a life! Spanning the Victorian era through the roaring twenties, Lady Hazel Lavery defied convention at a time when society judged more harshly than today. However, that did not slow her down. Thank you, Lois Cahall, for bringing this amazing story to light."

- Kathleen Grissom, NYT best-selling author, The Kitchen House & Glory Over Everything

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Like one of John Lavery's portraits, Lois Cahall's Hazel Lavery oozes love and passion, intrigue and imagination. To that canvas add chiaroscuro-loyalty and infidelity, diplomacy and assassination-and you have a novel almost Shakespearean."

- Larry Loftis, New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Spy
