It's 1903, the world is poised for drastic change, and Julia Briton is a naive, beautiful Boston socialite who suffers a series of devastating losses and discovers that her beloved husband is involved in the plume trade--the massive slaughter of birds for use in the fashion industry. When Julia is secretly ushered into the early 20th century by a group of brazen female activists, she boldly risks everything and embarks on a perilous journey to the wilds of untamed Florida, a place of great danger where men will stop at nothing to get what they want and where one man, and a faithful friend, force her to make yet more life-changing decisions. Years later, when Julia's great-granddaughter, Kelly, discovers some hidden tape recordings in her famous great-grandmother s dresser and learns the real truth about Julia's year, a year that changed the course of history, she must decide what to do with her grandmother s incredible legacy. Will she keep the real \"secret of the year\", or will she be brave enough to follow her own heart? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eUSA Best Book Awards\u003c\/b\u003e: Fiction: Historical, Finalist","brand":"Sparkpress","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45136080896151,"sku":"9781940716510","price":1247.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781940716510.webp?v=1767146662","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-year-of-necessary-lies-9781940716510","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
