SUMMARY:High Tea with Rebecca Armitage
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Garden Room at Buda  for a delicious High Tea with author and journalist\, Rebecca Armitage.​ \n\n\nRebecca will be chatting about her debut novel\, The Heir Apparent – a Reece Witherspoon Book Club Pick in the US – and her career as a writer\, journalist and TV Producer. \nBOOK\n   \n\n\nAbout the Book: \n\n\n​Lexi Villiers is a 29-year-old Englishwoman doing her medical residency in Hobart\, working too hard\, worried about her bank balance\, and living with friends. It’s a good life\, and getting even better\, because as the dawn is breaking on New Year’s Day\, Lexi is about to kiss the man she loves for the very first time. \n\n\nBut by midnight\, everything will change. Because Lexi is in fact not an ordinary young woman. She is Princess Alexandrina\, third in line to the British throne – albeit estranged from the rest of her family and living in voluntary exile on the other side of the world. But following a terrible accident\, Lexi – the black sheep of her family and\, until this moment\, always destined to be the spare – is now the heir apparent\, first in line to the throne once her grandmother\, the elderly Queen\, dies. Called back to do her duty\, she arrives in London to a Palace riven with power plays and media leaks\, all the while guarding painful secrets of her own. Palace waters are treacherous\, rumours are rife\, and selling each other’s secrets is a family tradition. And with the Crown just within her grasp\, Lexi must choose what bonds she will keep … and what she is willing to leave behind. \n\n\n‘This engrossing debut … is filled with secrets\, scandals\, and a few unexpected twists\, including a forbidden and beautiful love story. Armitage’s writing is spectacular\, with rich dialogue and descriptions\, a vibrant depiction of the burden of duty versus personal freedom\, and unique insights into royal life.’  Booklist\, starred review \n\n\n‘For everyone wondering who’s going to be the next big thing on the Australian literary scene\, I have the answer: it’s Rebecca Armitage. The Heir Apparent  is one of the best books I’ve read all year.’ Natasha Lester\, New York Times bestselling author of The Mademoiselle Alliance \n\n\n‘A fabulous novel\, juicy and irresistible’. Pip Drysdale\, bestselling author of The Close Up \n\n\n‘Completely addictive! I was up until the wee hours finishing this fantastic book. It’s Hello! mag meets Sally Hepworth and I was utterly transported by the evocative\, clever storytelling. Five stars!!’  \nElla Ward\,  The Cicada House \n\n\nAbout the Author: \n\n\nRebecca Armitage is an author and journalist. \nAs a journalist\, she has written stories about the death of Queen Elizabeth II\, the coronation of King Charles III\, the exile of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan\, and the abdication of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe. \nAs digital editor for the ABC’s International news team\, she has covered several US elections and travelled to Israel to cover the war in Gaza. \nShe lives in Hobart\, Tasmania\, with her husband and a poorly behaved German Shorthaired Pointer named Chino.
