Beatriz Williams Tiny Little Thing

For three summers in a row. She's had the best read. This year there's a twist in Camelot. It involves politics and an age of America where fantasies still exist. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with the extremely popular Beatriz Williams. Williams’s evocative 2012 debut, Overseas, celebrated those heroic virtues in an inventive time-leaping narrative, made romantics out of cynics, and won awards even before it was published. A year later Williams recreated 1938’s real-life cataclysmic hurricane in A Hundred Summers, an enthralling and literate summer read that became a New York Times bestseller and went back to press five times in paperback. In 2014, she delivered The Secret Life of Violet Grant, an intricately-constructed saga spanning two continents and five decades among the Schuyler family of Manhattan’s posh Upper East Side. Target selected The Secret Life of Violet Grant as their Book Club Pick for May 2015. TINY LITTLE THING is infused with evocative period detail, brimming with wit and insight and indelible characters, and explores a host of issues, from the complexity of human relationships, to the rise of celebrity politics at the dawn of television, to the penetrating effects of war on those who return not quite whole. About TINY LITTLE THING: In the summer of 1966, Christina Hardcastle—“Tiny” to her illustrious family—stands on the brink of a breathtaking future. Of the three Schuyler sisters, she’s the one raised to marry a man destined for leadership, and with her elegance and impeccable style, she presents a perfect camera-ready image in the dawning age of television politics. Together she and her husband, Frank, make the ultimate power couple: intelligent, rich, and impossibly attractive. It seems nothing can stop Frank from rising to national office, and he’s got his sights set on a senate seat in November. But as the season gets underway at the family estate on Cape Cod, three unwelcome visitors appear in Tiny’s perfect life: her volatile sister Pepper, an envelope containing incriminating photograph, and the intimidating figure of Frank’s cousin Vietnam-war hero Caspian, who knows more about Tiny’s rich inner life than anyone else. As she struggles to maintain the glossy façade on which the Hardcastle family’s ambitions are built, Tiny begins to suspect that Frank is hiding a reckless entanglement of his own…one that may unravel both her own ordered life and her husband’s promising career. www.beatrizwilliams.com Follow Beatriz on Twitter: @bcwilliamsbooks Follow Beatriz on Facebook: www.facebook.com/beatrizwilliamsauthor ABOUT THE AUTHOR A Stanford University honors graduate with an MBA in finance from Columbia, Beatriz Williams lives in Connecticut, with her husband and children.
