You know I love writing about real women who defied the odds\u2014and my new novel Run, Darling may be the most thrilling escape story I\u2019ve told. In fact, I think it rivals Kleopatra\u2019s harrowing escape from her own twisted family!

Many of us remember the Gabors, the scandalous 20th century beauty icons, but few know that before global celebrity and multiple husbands, they were a family of young Hungarian Jewish women desperate to escape the Nazis\u2019 rising tyranny.

Run, Darling follows the dazzling sisters, Zsa Zsa, Eva, and Magda across continents as they flee WWII Europe with nothing but their wit, charm, and desperate desire to save themselves and each other. From Eastern Europe to London, Turkey, Iraq, India, Berlin, and Old Hollywood, it\u2019s a tale of bold choices, death-defying risks, impossible glamour, and survival against a backdrop of unparalleled cruelty.

If you loved Kleopatra for her cunning power, or Dracula in Love for its sensual defiance, or the politics and allure of the muses of Leonardo\u2019s Swans, Run, Darling brings comparable heroines, armed with female intuition, family secrets, daring plans, and lipstick. \u263a
