Boston Book Festival 2019

Novelist (and Wellesley alumna) Jasmine Guillory has rightfully received acclaim for her heartwarming and inclusive approach to writing romance fiction. In novels from The Wedding Guest to The Proposal to The Wedding Party, Guillory has written charming, sexy novels set in a diverse, funny, and supportive friend group any of us would love to be part of. Now, in Royal Holiday, Guillory has expanded her sights, as Maddie (heroine of The Wedding Party) and her straight-talking fifty-something mom Vivian head to England, where Maddie’s on assignment. There Vivian embarks on a courtship with none other than the Queen’s private secretary, Malcolm. Guillory will be interviewed by the Boston Globe’s Love Letters columnist Meredith Goldstein, whose novel The Singles also focused on friends at a wedding. If you’re an Anglophile, adore Hallmark Christmas movies, or are just in search of a touching romance between mature characters, you won’t want to miss hearing from the fabulous Jasmine Guillory or picking up her book (here’s a hint—it would make a great holiday gift!).
