The Royal Correspondent

A healthy dose of history with fashion, family, friendship, and intrigue. Alexandra Joel, inspired by her father's own story, has written a new novel about reporting in Australia and London. Blaise Hill is born in a rough neighborhood in Sydney, but she has big dreams. She is determined to use the Press (one of the "five P's") as a path to success. And, does she ever! Starting as a copy "boy," she sets her sights on reporting stories that matter. Along the way she becomes a royal correspondent and finds herself mixed up in international intrigue. Her family, especially her sister Ivy who is recovering from polio, is always a priority as well. I loved all the historical details from the polio epidemic to Princess Margaret's wedding and the Kennedy's famous stop in London. For those who love romance, this will not disappoint. Really well done and I definitely want to add The Paris Model to my TBR list.
