Elizabeth and Marilyn

Wonderful, I loved this. Julie is a writer you can ALWAYS trust in the way she portrays women, they are believable, flawed, complex and fascinating. Their motivations, loves, the way they grapple with meaning and their callings is all sensitively done and I love the way she shows the parallels between the two women

Georgina Moore

A vibrant imagining of the inner lives of two iconic women in the year of their storied encounter . . . Thoroughly enjoyable

Charmaine Wilkerson, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Black Cake</i>

Bold, original and captivating storytelling - this book takes two iconic characters and allows us to become intimate with them. I loved it!

Daisy Buchanan

Exploring the inner lives of two of the most famous people of the 20th century with tenderness and compassion, Elizabeth and Marilyn brilliantly illuminates the women behind the myths

Carole Hailey

An immersive and emotionally complex portrait of two brilliant women under unimaginable pressure. I loved the way the stories interwove to explore how the world’s adulation for Marilyn was so crushing for the vulnerable Norma Jeane, and how the power Elizabeth had was so reductive for the woman Lilibet wanted to be. Brava!

Caroline Lea

We think we know these iconic women but Julie reveals them in a whole new way. Atmospheric, glamorous and fun. A hugely enjoyable read

Jodie Chapman

A unique premise, perfectly executed, and utterly addictive

Louise Beech

What a clever concept, executed to perfection. Elizabeth and Marilyn skilfully captures the strengths, the vulnerabilities, the heartaches of two twentieth century icons. So utterly believable and compelling that I didn’t want the story to end!
