The Affair by Gill Paul
By Nikki Bywater
Set in Rome in 1961 during the filming of the classic Hollywood film, Cleopatra starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Diana Bailey takes up a job on the film set in Rome as a historical advisor, leaving older husband Trevor back home to fend for himself, she knows this is one opportunity that she just cannot turn down.
She soon makes friends with a young make-up artist called Helen, and soon Diana is enjoying living her new life and realises that her marriage is in trouble. She becomes close to Ernesto a fellow member of the film crew. She even manages to rub shoulders with the great Elizabeth Taylor herself too. Things are going great for Diana.
Then tragedy strikes and Diana finds herself in deep trouble, and it is Trevor who comes to her rescue but will it save their marriage?
The Affair manages to capture an era of time of Hollywood glamour and by mixing fact and fiction it has created a wonderful story, of love and passion with the very public affair between the two leading stars. In this book Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are in the background, while our leading lady Diana Bailey a small-fry in a big film production is centre stage in this story.
I really liked the facts about the filming of Cleopatra at the back of this book too. This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the film, and although I have seen many films this is a film I have not seen but now I really want to see this film. I also found myself in The Works book store yesterday buying books on Taylor and Burton. So the book really inspired me to go research myself to see which parts of the book are fact and which are fiction.
The Affair is a book not to be missed an amazing and interesting read that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I really do recommend reading this book.

An incredible story that you can't miss!
By ADITI SAHA
Quoting F. Scott Fitzgerald's remarkable words:
“A love affair is like a short story--it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning was easy, the middle might drag, invaded by commonplace, but the end, instead of being decisive and well knit with that element of revelatory surprise as a well-written story should be, it usually dissipated in a succession of messy and humiliating anticlimaxes.”
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's affair was one of the world’s most notorious and most talked about affair in its history. We fell with them, we cried with them, we resented with them, we hated with them, we envied with them, we burned with jealousy with them, we felt everything whatever La Taylor and Richard was feeling, because their affair was strikingly caught behind every paparazzi’s lenses to present to the world and theirs was the affair which shake each and everyone in this planet.
Gill Paul, an English historical fiction writer, has penned her new novel, The Affair based on real-life incidents and events during the year 1963 on the very sets of Cleopatra movie, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rex Harrison and Richard Burton, in Rome. It's not only a love story, but also involves around a dark-mystery and the underworld of Italian drug-mafias.
Millions times thanks to the author, Gill Paul, for sending me over a copy of her book, in return for an honest and unbiased review.
Diana is a home-maker, when one fine day, she bags an offer from the 21st Century Fox cinemas to act as a "Historical Advisor" on the film sets of the movie Cleopatra in Rome, since she had done a P.H.D on life’s and tales about the most notorious queen of Egypt, Cleopatra. Diana's husband, Trevor, who is an academician, disregards Diana's lucrative offer, but Diana takes up the offer with a heavy heart by listening to herself. Upon her arrival, Diana realizes that the already high budget movie is falling behind finances and is drying up eventually to fulfill Elizabeth's all demands and wishes. But Diana's life changes around when she falls into the arms of an Italian man named Ernesto, who too used to work on the sets of Cleopatra and soon confiding in her new-found best friend, Helen, who used to be the make-up artist. But Helen harvested a dark secret and a deadly habit in the dark alleys and dingy bars of Rome, which eventually led her to an un-fateful road. Scott, a young journalist is on the fire to give a lesson and expose one of the most famous mafia kings to the world and is also making each and every ends to get a clear shot of La Taylor to satisfy his boss. When Richard Burton arrives on the sets, a passionate relationship grows behind the trailer doors and studio offices in Rome and the whole world is chasing them to get a shot of their affair.
Doesn't the blurb sounds awesome, reality mixed with fiction and author has successfully delivered her story to her readers. Flawlessly written and with such an extraordinary plot, the book is indeed an engrossing read. From the very first page, I got hooked into the tale and the pace is way too fast, and with the author's striking flow of narration, the book becomes more interesting. The author has blended the storyline of Taylor-Burton affair along with her own story about Diana, Scott, Trevor and Helen and about Italian mafia. While reading, I could feel the thrill running down my bones, and I could feel the author's passion in her words. The story takes you on a roller-coaster ride filled with emotions, mystery and too many affairs around the sets of Cleopatra movie in Rome. Not only the author has spun a mind-blowing tale but also the author has captured the flawless actress, Elizabeth Taylor so remarkably with her words.
Don't miss out this must-read book which not only awes you with the most famous affair of the world but also captivates you with the unraveling mystery about drugs and mafia lords.
P.S. Did you know that Cleopatra movie almost made 21st Century Fox cinemas bankrupt and the president of 21st Century Fox cinemas had to resign from his position? We can rightly say that Elizabeth Taylor was indeed an incredible actress!

Escapism
By Lesley Brown
Thoroughly enjoyed this book; a little historicaal backround to a romance that enthralled the world. A lovely way to escape into romance and history all mixed in with a murder mystery. Really easy read and a lot of fun.
