“There’s a fine brand between gossip and background, when the first is discussing kings.”
Sophie Fitzosborne lives in a crumbling castle in the small island kingdom of Montmaray with her eccentric and impoverished royal family. When she gets a journal for her sixteenth birthday, Sophie chooses to chronicle day-to-day life on the island. But this is 1936, and the news headlines that trickles in from the mainland uncovers a global on the brink of war. The politics of Europe seem far away from their distant island—until two German officers land a fishing boat on Montmaray. And then all of a sudden politics become very personal indeed.
A Quick History of Montmaray is a heart-stopping story of commitment, love, and reduction, and of struggling to hold on to home when the world is exploding all around you.
“Once in a while, a special reserve will cross our pathways and make us thankful forever and the capability to read. I’m discussing A Brief History of Montmaray by Michelle Cooper. I’m contacting her Australia’s next heart stroke of literary brilliance.”—Point of view
