As the coronation of a new monarch looms in the real world, Jennifer Robson's "Coronation Year" revisits the 1950s and the turmoil happening around the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. At the Blue Lion hotel in London, struggling owner Edie has found a saving grace: the Queen's carriage route will run right past the hotel, allowing Edie to charge enough to save her hotel from disaster. Among her varied guests are Stella, a photographer and Holocaust survivor seeking meaning in her life and career, and James, an artist and war hero who struggles to be accepted due to his Indian heritage. All three soon find their lives disrupted by coronation-day threats against them, the hotel, and even the queen.
