<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>One of Summer's Most Anticipated Reads, a</strong><strong>ccording to Goodreads, SheReads, and Bookish</strong></p><p><strong>"I think Beatriz Williams is writing the best historical fiction out there. It's lush with period detail but feels immediate."--Elin Hilderbrand</strong></p><p><strong>The beloved author returns with a remarkable novel of both raw suspense and lyric beauty-- the story of a lost pilot and a wartime photographer that will leave its mark on your soul. </strong><br/><br/>In 1947, photographer and war correspondent Janey Everett arrives at a remote surfing village on the Hawaiian island of Kauai to research a planned biography of forgotten aviation pioneer Sam Mallory, who joined the loyalist forces in the Spanish Civil War and never returned. Obsessed with Sam's fate, Janey has tracked down Irene Lindquist, the owner of a local island-hopping airline, whom she believes might actually be the legendary Irene Foster, Mallory's onetime student and flying partner. Foster's disappearance during a round-the-world flight in 1937 remains one of the world's greatest unsolved mysteries. </p><p>At first, the flinty Mrs. Lindquist denies any connection to Foster. But Janey informs her that the wreck of Sam Mallory's airplane has recently been discovered in a Spanish desert, and piece by piece, the details of Foster's extraordinary life emerge: from the beginnings of her flying career in Southern California, to her complicated, passionate relationship with Mallory, to the collapse of her marriage to her aggressive career manager, the publishing scion George Morrow.</p><p>As Irene spins her tale to its searing conclusion, Janey's past gathers its own power. The duel between the two women takes a heartstopping turn. To whom does Mallory rightfully belong? Can we ever come to terms with the loss of those we love, and the lives we might have lived?</p><br/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<em>The Golden Hour</em> is pure golden delight Beatriz Williams is at the top of her game."--Kate Quinn, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Alice Network</em><br><br>"Beatriz Williams deftly fits together the characters, stories, and themes that the narrative services into a cohesive whole.
