Darling
Helena DahlgrenIntroducing part one of ’Royal Romace’ — a Swedish ’The Crown’. Lilian Craig & Prince Bertil of Sweden meet right in the middle of WWII. Their worlds could not be further apart, yet their attraction is immediate and ignites a love story that will last a lifetime
London, 1943. In the middle of a raging war, miner’s daughter Lilian Craig, née Davies, meets a man who will turn her whole life upside down. Their mutual friends call him “Prince Bertil of Sweden”, but Lilian does not believe them and replies that if he is a prince, she is the Queen of Sheba.
It will turn out to be the beginning of one of the most durable love stories of our time – a story of hope and waiting, of war and duty – and betrayal. About a tireless and eternal love and the courage to go against norms and daring to follow your heart, despite other’s expectations.
Darling is the first part in the ‘Royal Romance’ series, which explores the most exceptional love stories of the Swedish Royal Court. A ‘Swedish The Crown’ for everyone who loves historical fiction, all things royal, and eternal love stories based on true events.
Within the mystified setting of royal life and sceneries, readers get to partake in dramatic, emotional stories containing everything in terms of love at first sight, longing, obstacles, divine duties, and personal qualms. Readers are taking Darling to heart, with sales figures at 10,000 copies sold and rapidly increasing.
‘The portrayal of Lilian and Bertil is vivid and engaging, while maintaining a respectful approach to the real people portrayed. […] a pleasant and entertaining novel that gives an insight into Swedish royal history.‘ BTJ
