The Golden Hour is pure golden delight Beatriz Williams is at the top of her game. - Kate Quinn, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Alice Network
"Original and fascinating. Lulu herself is an excellent creation, tough, smart, sexy, and ruthless... A fresh take on the WWII love story, with a narrator who practically demands Myrna Loy come back to life to play her in the movie." - Kirkus (starred review)
"Bestselling author Beatriz Williams skillfully sets a story of love and sacrifice against the backdrop of war in her fascinating new novel... Readers will be spellbound by Williams' elegant prose, fascinating characters and unforgettable settings while fully engrossed by the novel's dual plots." - Bookpage
"The stories of two remarkable women a generation apart are cleverly entwined in Williams's sweeping family saga... Williams illuminates the story with exotic locales and bygone ambiance, and seduces with the irresistible Windsors. Readers will appreciate the wartime espionage that keeps the suspense high." - Publishers Weekly
"Beatriz Williams always delivers historical fiction that shines, and this summer's release is no exception... The Golden Hour is another engrossing read that will keep you turning the pages long into the night." - Popsugar
"A shocking death under the Caribbean sun. A cover-up with a whiff of royal privilege. Williams mixes those ingredients with spies, swindles, love affairs-plus a dash of racial animosity-and the result is a zesty romantic cocktail." - Bloomberg
With her trademark skill, the author adeptly draws the threads of the two story lines together, culminating in a surprising, emotionally satisfying conclusion. Williams' latest is moving, well-researched, and compulsively readable to the very last page. - Booklist
