Classic Hollywood has inspired numerous novels and one of the latest ones is The Audrey Hepburn Estate by Brenda Janowitz. In this novel, readers are taken through the fictional Emma Jansen, who returns to the home where she grew up before it is demolished. Like Hepburn’s character in Sabrina (1954), Emma grows up over a garage.
Throughout the story, Emma is torn between two worlds as her story intertwines with the estate owners’ grandson (her former love) and the driver’s son (her best friend). Fans of Sabrina will easily notice parallels to the film and clear nods to Hepburn’s actual life.
This book is recommended to fans of classic Hollywood as well as Hepburn’s life and career.
The Audrey Hepburn Estate is available for purchase via Graydon House.
