A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean #bookreview @LUauthors @gosparkpoint

Overview

From the bestselling author of Beyond the Moonlit Sea comes an atmospheric tale of how one woman’s search for the truth uncovers long-hidden secrets and rocks the very foundation of her world.

Scarlett Fontaine is a true Hollywood legend—a singer, actress, and beloved fashion icon. But Scarlett dies tragically at just thirty-six years old, leaving behind no children. Or so the story goes…

Gwen Hollingsworth is the curator at a museum dedicated to Scarlett’s life. She’s also sole heir to Scarlett’s fortune as a descendant of the star. But all is not well in Gwen’s world. She’s dealing with a messy marital separation and is struggling to move forward. So when Peter Miller, a biographer and photojournalist, comes to the museum with shocking claims about Scarlett—a life of exile in Alaska, a baby born in secret—Gwen’s whole world is turned upside down. Again.

Determined to uncover the truth, Gwen and Peter set out for Alaska together but soon find themselves on a path toward something far deeper and more meaningful than either of them ever expected.

A Storm of Infinite Beauty takes readers on a breathtaking journey from a lush vineyard in Nova Scotia to a rustic lodge in Alaska where old family secrets are revealed and the quest for true happiness begins.

Review

Gwen has been approached by Peter, a biographer and photojournalist. He wants to write a biography about Gwen’s famous cousin, Scarlett Fontaine. And he comes bearing a photo that no one in the family has ever seen. This opens a whole new mysterious life of Scarlett Fontaine.

This story goes back and forth between two different time periods, present day and the 1960s. I enjoyed both aspects of these time periods, however, I felt the 1960s went on longer than it should. But, I enjoyed how the author portrayed all the secrets and the full reveal!

I have only read one other book by this author, The Color of Heaven. I only rated it three stars because it was just too sweet for my tastes. But this tale is a bit different. I loved the setting of Alaska and the secret life of Scarlet Fontaine! This kept me entertained from start to finish!

Need a story full of secrets…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
