Jackie asked this question about The Lost Girls of Paris:
Am I the only person who noted the major historical error in regards to the decorations at the Willard Hotel? In 1946, when Grace and Mark went into the lobby "the ceiling was elaborately painted with the seals of all fifty states". Hello...this is 1946. Hawaii and Alaska don't obtain statehood until 1959.
Katherine I have a 2019 edition with the incorrect info about 50 states in 1946. I emailed the publisher. I imagine many readers have done the same.
