From the bestselling author of My Ex-Best Friend's Wedding comes a novel about four friends who share a passion for a beloved British television show that will change all of their lives. When the concierge of The Alexander, a historic Atlanta apartment building, invites his fellow residents to join him for weekly screenings of Downton Abbey, four very different people find themselves connecting with the addictive drama, and—even more unexpectedly—with each other.
Samantha Davis, who married young and for the wrong reason, the security of old Atlanta money—for herself and for her orphaned brother and sister, never expected her marriage to be complicated by love and compromised by a shattering family betrayal. Claire Walker, now an empty nester and struggling author, left her home in the suburbs for the old world charm of The Alexander, and for a new and productive life, but soon wonders if clinging to old dreams can be more destructive than having no dreams at all. Brooke MacKenzie, a woman in constant battle with her faithless ex-husband, is just starting to realize that it's time to take a deep breath and come to terms with the fact that her life is not the fairy tale she thought it would be.
For Samantha, Claire, Brooke—and Edward, who arranges the weekly gatherings—it will be a season of surprises as they forge a bond that will sustain them through some of life's hardest moments—all of it reflected in the unfolding drama, comedy, and convergent lives of Downton Abbey.
The novel explores the intricate relationships and personal journeys of these four individuals as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. Samantha's unexpected marital challenges, Claire's struggle to find purpose and fulfillment, Brooke's efforts to move on from her failed marriage, and the shared experience of the Downton Abbey community all converge to create a compelling and relatable narrative.
Through the lens of their shared passion for the beloved television show, the characters embark on a journey of personal growth and mutual understanding. As they come together each week to watch and discuss the events unfolding on the screen, they find themselves drawn into a deeper connection with one another, fostering a sense of community and support that becomes a lifeline during their own difficult moments.
The novel explores the power of storytelling, both on the screen and in our own lives, to bring people together, offer solace, and inspire reflection. As the characters navigate the ups and downs of their personal lives, they find strength and solace in the shared experience of the Downton Abbey narrative, which serves as a mirror for their own lives and a catalyst for their personal transformations.
Ultimately, this novel is a poignant exploration of the bonds of friendship, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative power of shared experiences. Through the interconnected stories of Samantha, Claire, Brooke, and Edward, the reader is invited to reflect on the ways in which our lives can be enriched and empowered by the stories we choose to embrace and the connections we forge with others.
