Meer over het boek

Two writers vie for the opportunity to narrate the captivating story of a woman with a complex past in this enchanting novel. Alice Scott, an optimistic dreamer, is eager for her big writing break, while Hayden Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize winner, exudes a brooding intensity. Both are on Little Crescent Island to write the biography of the elusive Margaret Ives, a tragic heiress and former tabloid sensation from a scandalous family. When Margaret invites them for a month-long trial to decide who will tell her story, Alice is determined to win her over. She believes her likable nature will help her connect with the legendary figure, and she hopes to impress her skeptical family with a significant publication. However, Hayden’s fierce demeanor suggests he views her as a serious rival, complicating matters. As they each receive only fragments of Margaret's story, bound by a strict NDA, the tension between them grows, revealing an unexpected connection. The unfolding narrative promises to be a blend of mystery, tragedy, and romance, shaped by the perspectives of both writers as they navigate their competition and the enigmatic tale of Margaret Ives.
