Twenties Girl

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella is a wonderfully inventive and thoroughly charming standalone novel from the author of the beloved Shopaholic series — a romantic comedy with a ghost story twist that showcases Kinsella's considerable storytelling range beyond the Becky Bloomwood universe. Published by Black Swan, this novel has become one of her most consistently and enthusiastically recommended standalone works, beloved by readers who encounter it for the first time and by fans returning to it.

When Lara Lington's ancient great-aunt Sadie dies at the age of 105, her ghost immediately materialises — young, vivacious, determinedly flapper-era, and absolutely certain that she cannot rest until she finds a particular dragonfly necklace that has gone missing from among her possessions. As Lara and Sadie embark on an increasingly chaotic search for the necklace, the 1920s ghost proves both a considerable asset and a considerable liability — particularly when it comes to the complicated state of Lara's love life.

Kinsella writes the double timeline and the ghost-protagonist relationship with exceptional comic invention and genuine emotional depth — the scenes between Lara and Sadie are both hilariously funny and genuinely moving. Twenties Girl is the perfect book for readers who love Kinsella's work and want to see her at her most imaginative, her most charming, and her most unexpectedly touching. A beautiful standalone that rewards every reader.
