The Year of Necessary Lies [Idioma Inglés]: A Novel - Tapa blanda

""The Year of Necessary Lies" is a memorable and beautifully written story about reinvention, standing up for your beliefs, and staying true to yourself, no matter what the cost.
Kristin Contino, author of "The Legacy of Us"
"Feminism and activism go hand in hand in this romantic novel about women s empowerment and living life to the fullest. Kris Radish's tenth novel, "The Year of Necessary Lies," highlights women's role in the Audubon Society campaign to eradicate feathers from ladies hats. Her fictional heroine is a composite portrait of the many courageous women who stood up to plume hunters and the fashion industry alike in the early years of the twentieth century.
Radish creates an authentic Southern atmosphere dripping with sweat and packed with rattlesnakes and egrets. Julia s raucous boat journey, punctuated by an erroneous stop at a Savannah brothel, is a highlight. She is a compelling protagonist, ably supported by an eccentric cast of ex-hunters and coastal hermits. Cameos from historical figures ranging from William Randolph Hearst to Mark Twain help place Julia in a convincing turn-of-the-century context of change and creativity. Recommended to fans of Anita Diamant's "The Boston Girl" and Sue Monk Kidd s "The Invention of Wings.""
