MY DAYS WITH MILLICENT

A Hitchcokian novel of reversals, reinvention, and revenge, My Days with Millicent takes the reader along on a story of self-revelation, proving we never are quite who we think we are.

What would Dear Auntie’s public think if they knew that one of England’s most trusted advice columnists had once helped cover up a murder and perverted the course of justice, all without a pang of conscience? Mona Bertram reflects on her evolution from the plain and impoverished spinster Ramona Bright, dashing about post-war London doing good works to successful and exquisitely turned-out advice columnist Mona Bertram, a.k.a. Dear Auntie. Her relationship with her aristocratic cousin, the difficult, perennially bored, and elegant Lady Millicent von Favre holds the key. From girlhood, Ramona has been envious of—Millicent, who habituates corners of society most can only read about in the papers. As she considers their families, their roles in each other’s lives, and in a man’s death, unraveling secrets within secrets, memories within memories, Mona Bertram begins to examine when hiding the truth is worth the price.
