Emily Burack is the Senior News Editor for Town & Country, where she covers entertainment, culture, the royals, and a range of other subjects. Before joining T&C, she was the deputy managing editor at Hey Alma, a Jewish culture site.

At Town & Country she tagged thirteen of the best books for fans of the Netflix period drama House of Guinness, including:
Guinness: A Family Succession: The True Story of the Struggle to Create the the World's Largest Brewery by Arthur Edward Guinness

New this fall is a history of the Guinness family from Arthur Edward Guinness, a member of the dynasty himself. “I’m aware of if the story doesn't get told, the story can get told in many different ways, and some of them will be inaccurate. Some will have axes to grind; some will not reference family papers and primary sources like I’m privileged to have. And I have Arthur Guinness on my passport, I’m proud of being an Arthur Guinness, and I’ll tell my version of the story with access that I have—hopefully it’s readable, entertaining, and informative,” he told Town & Country.
