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 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 ¿¿¿¿¿ "Lois Cahall really knows how to write and tell a story.
