Meet the Author: Clare McHugh
Tuesday, March 4th @ 6pm at Ashawagh Hall
Clare McHugh is the author of two novels about the family of Queen Victoria. The first, A MOST ENGLISH PRINCESS was published in 2020, and the second, THE ROMANOV BRIDES, came out in March 2024.
"Both my books explore what's it's like to be a young woman whose personal choices carry political significance," McHugh says. "The Romanov Brides tells the story of Princess Alix of Hesse and her sister Ella and how love and duty brought them to imperial Russia, a dazzling, decadent world on the brink of disappearing forever."
McHugh worked previously as a newspaper reporter for The New York Post and The New York Observer, and as a magazine editor at Time Inc. She graduated from Harvard College with an honors degree in modern European history. She and her husband live in Amagansett
and in London.
