Description
In this Downton Abbey-ish true story turns Outlander adventure, one unknown Irish heroine, Hazel Lavery marries the portrait artist to the Royals. She will take on the Anglo-Irish peace treaty with her close friend, Winston Churchill and her Irish renegade lover, Michael Collins.
Boston-born Hazel ascended from her Irish roots to become the quintessential Society Queen of Chicago, and later London, where she lived a delicate dance between two worlds: one with her esteemed husband, Sir John Lavery, a portrait artist to royalty, and the other with Michael Collins, the daring Irish rebel whose fiery spirit ignited her heart. Together, they formed a love triangle that echoed through the corridors of power at 10 Downing Street, London. Hazel's wit and charm touched on the lives of the who's-who of England including Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw and Evelyn Waugh. The image of her memorable face graced the Irish note for close to half-a-century.
