American heiress Delia Chandler leaves Virginia to marry Viscount Ivor Conisborough, unprepared for her new place within the royal circle. Soon she is holding dinner parties for Wiston Churchill and Wallis Simpson and attending glittering balls with Prince Edwar. But beneath the dazzling façade, Delia quickly discovers a world steeped in scandal. It seems everyone has a secret, including her husband.
When Ivor is sent to Cairo and appointed advisor King Fuad, Delia must follow with her two daughters. Like their mother, Petra and Davina are fiery beauties who long to escape the elegant and palatial villas of Garden City for the exotic, wild, beating heart of Cairo. But their desires will lead them into dangerous territory, shattering their world as they know it, forever.
Dreched in glamour, secrets and scandal, Palace Circle is an irresistible combination of real historical events and masterful storytelling.
