Jennifer Robson’s Goodnight from London books are set in wartime and postwar Britain. Goodnight From London follows Ruby Sutton, an ambitious American journalist who travels to London in 1940 to report on the war for Picture Weekly magazine. While covering the Blitz, she meets a British officer named Bennett and finds the sense of family she never had growing up.
The Gown moves to 1947, where Ann Hughes and Miriam Dassin work as embroiderers at Norman Hartnell’s couture house, stitching Princess Elizabeth’s wedding gown. The novel shifts between their story and a modern-day timeline set in 2016, as Ann’s granddaughter Heather travels from Toronto to London to uncover a family mystery. Both books are standalone reads, but recurring characters and references reward readers who start with Goodnight From London.
