If you fell in love with Jenner\u2019s writing, storylines, and characters when you read her first two novels, then add this third installment to your TBR list. Though Jenner\u2019s books can be read as stand-alone stories, they each tie to the others.<\/p>
This time, we follow actress and playwright Vivien Lowry, one of the original (fictional) members of the Jane Austen Society,<\/em> to 1950s, post-war Italy to pursue her film career.<\/p> The bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society<\/em> and Bloomsbury Girls<\/em> returns with a brilliant novel of love and art, of grief and memory, of confronting the past and facing the future. With her future in London not looking bright, at the suggestion of her friend, Peggy Guggenheim, Vivien takes a job in as a script doctor on a major film shooting in Rome\u2019s Cinecitta Studios. There she finds a vibrant movie making scene filled with rising stars, acclaimed directors, and famous actors in a country that is torn between its past and its potentially bright future, between the liberation of the post-war cinema and the restrictions of the Catholic Church that permeates the very soul of Italy. If you prefer listening to your historical fiction, BAFTA Award-winning actress Juliet Aubrey has narrated the audiobook of Every Time We Say Goodbye<\/a><\/em>.<\/p> \u201cAubrey won the BAFTA for her performance as the quintessential Dorothea Brooke in the BBC\u2019s 1994 production of Middlemarch<\/em> and has appeared in dozens of television, film, stage, and radio programs over her impressive career, most recently winning the BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Actress in 2022.

<\/strong>
In 1955, Vivien Lowry is facing the greatest challenge of her life. Her latest play, the only female-authored play on the London stage that season, has opened in the West End to rapturous applause from the audience. The reviewers, however, are not as impressed as the playgoers and their savage notices not only shut down the play but ruin Lowry\u2019s last chance for a dramatic career.<\/p>
As Vivien tries to forge a new future for herself, she also must face the long-buried truth of the recent World War and the mystery of what really happened to her deceased fianc\u00e9. Every Time We Say Goodbye<\/em> is a brilliant exploration of trauma and tragedy, hope and renewal, filled with dazzling characters both real and imaginary, from the incomparable author who charmed the world with her novels The Jane Austen Society<\/a> and Bloomsbury Girls<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/janeaustensworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/banner.jpg?w=970\")
