| Summary |
Fans of Bridgerton will love this¡"exuberant novel of manners for our own gilded age" (Stacy Schiff, author of Cleopatra ) as we follow the Wilcox family's journey through riches and ruin. Among New York City's Gilded Age elite, one family will defy convention. Helen Wilcox has one desire: to successfully launch her daughters into society. From the upper crust herself, Helen's unconventionalђ́و{u٠٦٥٤}if happyђ́و{u٠٦٥٤}marriage has made the girls' social position precarious. Then her husband gambles the family fortunes on an elevated railroad that he claims will transform the face of the city and the way the people of New York live, but will it ruin the Wilcoxes first? As daughters Jemima and Alice navigate the rise and fall of their familyђ́و{u٠٦٥٤}each is forced to re-examine who she is, and even who she is meant to love. From the author of To Marry an English Lord , an inspiration for Downton Abbey , comes a charming and cutthroat tale of a world in which an invitation or an avoided glance can be the difference between fortune and ruin. |
