The dazzling new bestseller charting the lives of one of Ireland's most fascinating families
Emily Hourican is the author of nine novels and one book of non-fiction. Her first novel, The Privileged, was published in 2016, became an instant bestseller, and was short-listed for the Best Popular Fiction Award at the Irish Book Awards that year. She then published three more works of contemporary fiction, the last of which, The Outsider, is being developed as a six-part TV series with Treasure Films, with Emily as screenwriter, supported by Screen Ireland.In 2019 she began writing historical fiction, and has since published four acclaimed, best-selling historical novels based on the Guinness and Kennedy families. Emily is also an award-winning editor and journalist with the Sunday Independent,Ireland's biggest-selling newspaper.
The Other Guinness Girl is the best in the series so far. While
still set in glittering high society, Hourican adjusts her lens to
focus on the stain that created so much ghoulish sentiment in the
lead-up to World War II

Through the author's mix of meticulous research and imagination, we
get behind the scenes of London's high society [...] It's a
fascinating read
*SUNDAY INDEPENDENT*
The Other Guinness Girl: A Question of Honour is another splendid
and highly enjoyable read from Emily Hourican. Using a mix of fact
and fiction, it captures the essence of the 1930s and is immersive
in its descriptions. All the individual characters are very much
brought to life, encouraging readers to further explore the history
of this extraordinary family
