Author: Cora Harrison
Publisher: Macmillan
My Copy: I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
It’s 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but stuck in an enormous crumbling house in the country, with no money and no fashionable dresses, the excitement seems a lifetime away.
Luckily the girls each have a plan for escaping their humdrum country life: Rose wants to be a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy a famous film director. Violet, however, has only one ambition: to become the perfect Debutante, so that she can go to London and catch the eye of Prince George, the most eligible bachelor in the country.
But a house as big and old as Beech Grove Manor hides many secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover one so huge it could ruin all their plans—ruin everything—forever.

Not only does Debutantes have the most most beautiful it also contains the most beautiful story I have ever read. Cora Harrison has wrote a page turning addictive read for every and any girl around the globe.
I cannot recommend Debutantes enough. It will have you staying up late in the night just to read that little bit more although it will never be enough. The author writes in a way that makes you understand and connect with the characters something which I haven't felt in a long time with a novel.
More of the authors novels will be added to my TBR list as they just have got to be better. Cora Harrison you are AMAZING!!
