“The Ashford Affair is a reader’s treat, an artfully-woven saga that sweeps us into the lives of three generations of a family entangled in life-changing secrets. Lauren Willig spins a web of lust, power and loss, taking us from England to Kenya to New York, from World War I to today’s modern world, posing a timeless question: what in our own family stories might surprise or shock – or change our lives – if we had access to the whispers from the past? Come, be caught up in this story….and mull her answers.”——Kate Alcott, New York Times bestselling author of The Dressmaker
