As Aileen, Maureen and Oonagh – the three privileged Guinness sisters, darlings of 1930s society – settle into becoming wives and mothers, they quickly discover that their gilded upbringing has not prepared them for the realities of married life.

At Dublin’s Luttrellstown Castle, practical Aileen has already run out of things to say to her husband. Outspoken Maureen is very much in love but feels isolated at the crumbling Clandeboye estate in Northern Ireland. And, as romantic Oonagh’s dreams of happiness in London are crushed by her husband’s lies, she seeks comfort in her friends – but can they be trusted?

Inspired by true-life events, The Guinness Girls: A Hint of Scandal is a dazzling, page-turning novel about Ireland and Britain in the grip of change, and a story of how three women who wanted for nothing were about to learn that they couldn’t have everything.
