Tiny Little Thing
Tiny Little Thing | Beatriz Williams
The New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Life of Violet Grant returns with the story of another Schuyler sister, a young woman embroiled in politics, passion, and dangerous secrets.... In the summer of 1966, Christina "Tiny" Hardcastle stands on the brink of a breathtaking future. Unlike her spirited sisters, Tiny was the consummate well-behaved debutant, poised and picture-perfect, raised to serve as a consort to a great man. Now, as her handsome husband, Frank, runs for a Massachusetts seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, that long-sought destiny lies nearly within reach. But behind her glamorous facade, Tiny's flawless life is cracking. She and Frank both have secrets in their pasts that could shatter their political ambitions and the intricate truce of their marriage. So when two unwelcome visitors arrive at the Hardcastle family's Cape Cod estate--Frank's cousin Caspian, a Vietnam war hero who knows a thing or two about Tiny's hidden past, and an envelope containing incriminating photographs--Tiny is forced into a reckless gamble against a house that always, always wins...

What a way to find out perfect Tiny is actually interesting! I wish Williams had leaned a little harder on the political intrigue, but it was fun to catch up with the Schuyler family and watch Tiny discover being a political wife isn't the be-all, end-all. #historicalfiction

I read the first book in the Schuyler Sisters trilogy last year and finally got to the 2nd one. I enjoyed Tiny and Caspian‘s story and I‘m looking forward to the final book about Pepper.

This was my #bookspin for January @TheAromaofBooks

8-24-21: My 86th finished book of 2021! Christina, Tiny, Hardcastle is the wife of a promising lawyer running for Congress. But Tiny has a secret and his name is Caspian. Told in alternating voices, Tiny in the present of 1966 and Caspian two years before her marriage, in 1964. This is book 2 in the Schuyler sisters series and it is as much fun as the first one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣8️⃣6️⃣

Book 2 of the Schuyler Sisters trilogy from the ever talented Beatriz Williams was great. Loved Tiny and Caspian. I can‘t wait to read more about Pepper in the final book. Beautiful setting. Interesting and flawed characters. Compelling story. What‘s not to love here?

Today‘s Prompt: Tiny

Secrets. We all have them, don‘t we? But some secrets are a bit larger than others.

TINY LITTLE THING is for those readers who love family secrets and family dynamics. ​I enjoyed TINY LITTLE THING simply because Ms. Williams knows how to tell an intriguing story with drama as well as facts. Her writing just pulls you in.

Although I didn‘t like it as much as I liked “The Secret Life of Violet Grant,” I didn‘t like it little enough to call it a so-so. This one was definitely more predictable, and Tiny wasn‘t as engaging, but still, a quick read - I properly started it this morning, and am now finished. #tinylittlething #beatrizwilliams

Just a typical Wednesday night at work, really. I‘m not sure I like these characters as much as I liked the ones in her other books, but at least their dialogue sounds decade-appropriate. #tinylittlething #beatrizwilliams

I loved this book. I really like how Williams incorporates other tidbits about the other sisters in this book. I really love Williams writing style and the way she transports reads to another time. Looking forward to the third book in this trilogy.

Jensol77 I adore her books. Read them all. Julie Schuyler has a way of appearing in most of her books. 😍 8y

#MarchintoReading I had a vague recollection of a Beatriz Williams novel featuring #TheBacksofWomen and after a Google search, three covers emerged. Of the three, I've only read Tiny Little Thing, which was highly enjoyable! It's book 2 of the Schuyler Sisters Trilogy, book 1 being The Secret Life Of Violet Grant and book 3 Along the Infinite Sea. These are historical fiction/smart chick lit with strong writing and interesting characters.

SaturnDoo One of my favorite authors 🖒🖒🖒 9y
erinreads I love Beatriz Williams! I also love how she uses the same characters throughout her books, but they're all stand alone novels so if you read out of order you're not lost. 👍🏻💕 9y
CocoReads Violet Grant was wonderful. I had a copy of Tiny but loaned it to my bestie, who is usually good about getting them back but it's been months.... 9y
