Many with disdain shrug their shoulders only after hearing the phrase "ladies' romance." But there are books that are really interesting to read and not ashamed to put on the bookshelf. Yes, the authors of this genre, writing with dignity, can literally be counted on the fingers, but all the more valuable is their work. Elizabeth Phillips is one of the few novelists from whose stories she does not take her cheekbones from the excessive cloying and implausibility of what is happening. And even if her characters are rich and famous, but they are real - they love, suffer, seek their own way, and it is far from easy. That is why the books do not mind the time spent: everything is just like in life, plus the author’s amazing sense of humor will make you smile more than once.
