The Liz Taylor Ring by Brenda Janowitz

4.0

Richard Burton gave Liz Taylor an eleven-carat diamond ring. Ritchie gave his beloved Lizzie the ring, after a nine month break in their relationship. The story is told in two timelines. The first is Lizzie and Ritchie’s love story. The second is decades later and told by their three children. The ring plays an important part in both narratives.

This is such a thoughtful and creative way to give a nod to Elizabeth Taylor, while also telling an epic love story with its share of ups and downs. The three siblings have their share of ups and downs, too, and they often leave out Courtney, the baby of the family, the outlier.

What a love story for these children to reflect upon. I loved the short chapters (I LOVE short chapters!), and there was an intriguing mystery here, too.

Highly recommended for fans of family stories. This one is a gem
