About this listen

The dazzling bestseller charting the lives of one of Ireland's most fascinating families.

Honor Guinness is rich, aristocratic, shy and awkward—nothing like her glamorous cousins Aileen, Maureen and Oonagh.

But when she marries the charming and ambitious American Henry 'Chips' Channon, together, they make the perfect couple. Determined to conquer London society, they are soon are at the heart of the best social circles—including a close friendship with the Prince of Wales and Mrs Wallis Simpson.

But within the marriage, all is less than perfect.

Meanwhile, Honor's best friend, the beautiful, enigmatic Doris, is focussed on marrying well to provide security to her family. Born to a German-Jewish mother, she has charm and looks but not Honor's advantages of birth and connection.

Set 1932-1936, The Other Guinness Girl is an evocative story of excess and wealth against a backdrop of events that changed Europe: The rise of Nazism, the abdication of a king, and the slide into World War II.

But will Honor, and Doris, find where they belong in times of change?

Having listened to all the diaries of Chips Channon, I found this to be an interesting novel. It certainly made me think of what life must have been like in fir the rich I. The 1930’s. It was interesting and I enjoyed it.

An interesting book

Too much about Doris went on and on about her lovers and all the rest of it. Not enough detail about Honor and how she felt about her husband and homesexual affairs. Did she know about them? missed a lot out.

not enough about Honot

This book should never have been written. Having read the Chips Channon Diaries I expected to learn more of the life of Honour Guinness.

Dreadful Supposition.
