 Review 
A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year\nA Financial Times Best Book of the Year A Guardian Best Politics Book of the Year\n"The rare Trump insider memoir that doesn’t obsess over Trump . . . As it turns out, we should have paid more attention to Hill’s life story. Though her book does feature first-person accounts of Trump and his inner circle, 
There is Nothing for You Here is a more ambitious and personal effort.”\n—The Washington Post\n“Hill is a lucid writer, delivering her reminiscences in a vivid and wry style. . . . with immediacy, tenderness and a good bit of gallows humor.”\n—The New York Times\n​"Thoughtful...compelling....While other Trump-era memoirs have focused solely on the carnival, Hill's scope pans out to the wounded country that put him in office, and then wider still, across the Atlantic to Britain and then across Europe to Russia." 
—The Guardian\n“Full of startling and unsettling insights into how Trump dealt with foreign leaders and his ‘autocrat envy.’ Hill’s book is also a compelling memoir about her journey from a working-class background in northern England to the corridors of power in Washington. Her background gives her particular insight into the social and economic forces driving the rise of populism in the US, UK and Russia.” 
—Gideon Rachman, “Best books of 2021,” Financial Times\n“The alarm [Hill] sounds is urgent . . . She sees striking similarities between the impoverished region of her roots and disadvantaged areas of both America and Russia. . . . Her journey from disadvantaged origins to success has echoes of the bestselling tales of Tara Westover’s 
Educated and J.D. Vance’s 
Hillbilly Elegy.”\n—Economist\n“This book has a miraculous quality. Fiona Hill has transformed her own predicaments in the Trump administration into a prescription for a better America. Known as an outstanding expert on Russia and an exemplary public servant, she reveals herself here as a wise observer and a beautiful writer. As a memoir this is hard to put down; if you are seeking a better American future you should pick it up.”\n—Timothy Snyder, Yale University, New York Times best-selling author of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century\n“[An] ambitious, immensely compelling memoir, Hill interweaves her interesting life story with events and issues s

To sweet Honoria Newcombe, the news that she was a burden to her maiden aunts came as a shock. On Prudence? On Mercy? Indeed, they had always been a trifle eccentric in their housekeeping, but they had raised Honoria ever since she was orphaned, and never once had she been denied a thing. Still, she could not argue with the evidence of her own ears, and Honoria resolved at once to relieve her beloved aunts of the financial strain she had unwittingly become. And yet, how to do so? Rural Regency England, alas, offered by few alternatives for a young lady of quality determined to leave the home of her childhood. Honoria flies straightway to the side of her friend Emily Blackwood to confer upon the matter. Emily, a talented and ambitious artist, rejects out of hand Honoria's feeble suggestion that she can earn her keep as a governess, or lady's companion: who on earth would hire so gentle and fragile a lady? Very well then, if employment is out of the question, Honoria's only hope is marriage. But marriage to whom? "Claude Kemp," Honoria answers bravely. "Never," asserts Emily. Claude might be a gentleman, but he is arrogant and unkind and Emily will simply not hear of it. If Honoria must marry, let her marry Alexander, Emily's own brother. This begins a comedy of errors so involved that nearly a year is required to unravel its tangled intricacies. Our heroine starts her life at Sweet's Folly (the Blackwood family home) with a certain amount of hope. Hope which rapidly changes to skepticism, to bewilderment, to despair, to astonishment, and at last to supreme happiness. In the interim, she must learn to deal with the machinations of the frustrated Claude Kemp, and with the hilarious antics of her unworldly aunts. And, when a stroke of great good fortune sends Emily, and Alexander and Honoria to London, there is also a most extraordinary transformation to be reckoned with: shy, scholarly Alexander has become a perfect devil with the ladies!

..".considerably more wit and pizazz than the legendary Georgette Heyer] herself." --Kirkus Reviews When Lady Beatrice, a marriage "consult" of wide renown, firsts sets eyes on her twenty-three-year-old protegee, Lady Caro, she is despondent. Too tall, too thin, too spunky, and almost "over the hill," Caro seems doomed to spinsterhood--until Beatrice conjures up an outrageous persona for the spirited Caro sure to set her off from the hordes of more conventional, and therefore more marriageable, debutantes. Lady Beatrice's ploy--and Caro's considerable natural charm--work all too well, and soon Caro finds herself pursued not only but her reserved kinsman Lord Seabury, but by the irresistible rogue Lord Mockabee as well. As London season reaches its glittering peak, Caro struggles to protect a friend's honor, preserve her own virtue, and win a love beyond Lady Beatrice's expectations. Sparkling with elegant wit and? extraordinary authenticity, The Autumn Rose is a delightful romp through the salons, ballrooms, gaming halls, and bedrooms of Regency London.
