The Ballroom Blitz | Anton Du Beke
2 posts | 1 read
The stunning new Buckingham novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Anton Du Beke. September 1940. As the skies split apart and bombs rain down on London, it's all the staff at the famed Buckingham Hotel can do to keep their guests in the luxury they're accustomed to, and evoke the magic of the Grand ballroom for them each night. Home on leave and still reeling from the tragic events at Dunkirk, the dashing Raymond de Guise struggles to define his role in this new world, and to do his duty both to his country, and his beloved wife Nancy- who needs him now more than ever. With profiteers skulking the London streets, and devious rivals plotting the Buckingham's downfall, the hotel staff must all hold onto what matters most- and decide where their loyalties truly lie. As the bombing intensifies and Christmas fast approaches, somehow the show must go on...

Very good. Loved returning to these wonderful characters and seeing the continuation of their story. Sad to see the end of this series as it such good storytelling. Even though many sites don't state it this the fifth and final book in the Buckingham Hotel series.

rockpools Thanks! I didn‘t know it was the final one. Pretty sure we have it at work - I need to catch up. 12mo
rockpools And yes (at the risk of sounding like a stick record) - it‘s a really good series, storytelling, characters. I think it‘s been a bit overlooked because of the Celebrity thing, but it‘s great! 12mo
Birdsong28 @rockpools To be honest I am quite surprised that a non author (not his main job) has done such a good job. Yes unfortunately it's the final one 😔 if you don't have it at work I can send it you please let me know I will be more than happy to do that. Hopefully this new series will be good but I don't think he will top this! 12mo
