"The Many Lives & Loves of Hazel Lavery" book Tour
Lady Hazel Lavery, muse, socialite, and rebel, bridged art and politics, shaping the Anglo-Irish Treaty and gracing Irish currency for nearly 50 years.
NYACK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- Strange that there's never been a
film or
novel about the true life of Chicago-born, Irish Society Queen, Lady Hazel Lavery, because it's the kind of story that almost writes itself...
Hazel's life - which spanned the Victorian Era through the roaring 20s - was infused with both escapism and modern-day sensibilities. She is the 'stuff' of legends except all of it is true. Her exotic life played out like a cross between Julian Fellow's The Gilded Age and Outlander.
Hazel lived a love triangle with the Royal's Knighted portrait artist, her husband, Sir John Lavery, and her renegade Irish soldier, the charismatic Sinn Fein hero, Michael Collins. Hazel longed to be part of Collins's heart, his ambushes and even his assassination, if necessary. Hazel is said to be the reason the Anglo-Irish Peace Treaty was sealed. Unbeknown to most, Hazel was also the face on Irish currency for decades. Her circle of friends included Evelyn Waugh, Cecil Beaton, George Bernard Shaw, and Winston Churchill, whom she taught to paint.
With the current day world reporting on the shift in power taking place with Sinn Fein, the timing is ripe for a novel on Hazel. And with so much 'Big Irish Energy' circulating around the month of March with St. Patrick's Day along with Women's International Day, there has never been a better time for the Irish born Hazel Lavery to make her debut.

"Far too little is known about Hazel Lavery, but that is about to be remedied thanks to Lois Cahall's intimate portrait of this fascinating woman.

Cahall has mined real gold here in this novel, filled with meticulous research and a driving narrative. I was fascinated from beginning to end." - Renee Rosen, USA Today best-selling author, "Let's Call Her Barbie"
