Alex Kanenwisher, book buyer at Costco, has selected The Hidden Palace by Dinah Jefferies (HarperCollins, $26.99, 9780008544652) as the pick for December. In Costco Connection, which goes to many of the warehouse club's members, Kanenwisher writes:
"Dinah Jefferies is known for her engaging historical novels. Her latest, The Hidden Palace, is told in two time periods: 1925 and 1944. One plot tells of a rebellious daughter and the other is the story of a woman who asks her daughter to find the mother's sister who disappeared years before.
"Jefferies takes readers on an unforgettable journey in this gem about sisters and secrets. It's also the second book in her Daughters of War trilogy."
