Seeing how passionate she is about children’s literature and books in general, this certainly makes sense. There’s a new report that says Sarah Ferguson is looking to launch her own book club called Mills & Boon.
The book club, due to launch on November 5, will see the duchess select one Mills & Boon historical romance title each month. And yes, royal fans are pretty excited about it. Here’s what you need to know.
Sarah Ferguson Is Launching Her Own Book Club
Just months after her own novel, Her Heart for a Compass, became a bestseller, the Duchess of York will launch her own historical romance book club. Fergie – as the Duchess is often called in royal circles – made the announcement last week, sharing the news to her social channels.
“So excited to launch a historical romance book club with my publisher Mills & Boon,” she wrote. “Like them, I’m passionate about telling women’s stories, giving those who have been silenced a voice and promoting women’s literacy.”
“Too often, women’s lives can be overlooked by history. In my debut novel Her Heart for a Compass, I brought one such woman – my great-great aunt Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas-Scott – to life,” the royal continued. “Now I want to celebrate other authors who are telling women’s stories. I hope that the book club readers will be entertained, enlightened and empowered by the novels that we are going to read together.”
Her first book, which draws on Sarah’s own life journey and incorporates research into her ancestry, is a fictional account of the life of the duchess’s great-great-aunt Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas-Scott. It was co-written with Marguerite Kaye, who has written more than 50 historical romances set in a variety of eras.
Sarah Ferguson who has a life-long passion for historical research and telling the stories of strong women in history, will then share her thoughts on the book choice at the end of the month.
