Many people shrug their shoulders with disdain, only when they hear the phrase "ladies' romance." But there are books that are really interesting to read and not ashamed to put on a bookshelf. Yes, the authors of this genre, who write with dignity, can literally be counted on the fingers, but their work is all the more valuable. Elizabeth Phillips is one of the few novelists whose stories do not reduce cheekbones from excessive cloying and implausibility of what is happening. And let her heroes be rich and famous, but they are real - they love, they suffer, they are looking for their own path, and it is far from easy. That is why you don’t feel sorry for the time spent on books: everything is like in life, plus the author’s amazing sense of humor will make you smile more than once.
