This is the beginning of an odyssey that moves back and forth in time and reveals the dangerous secrets of a mysterious woman, the fortune she built, and her precipitous fall. Born in Philadelphia in the late 1800s, Hannah Elias has done things she's not proud of to survive. Shedding her past, Hannah slips on a new identity before relocating to New York City to become as rich as a robber baron. Hannah quietly invests in the stock market, growing her fortune with the help of businessmen. As the money pours in, Hannah hides her millions across 29 banks. Finally attaining the life she's always dreamed, she buys a mansion on the Upper West Side and decorates it in gold and first-rate décor, inspired by her idol Cleopatra. The unsolved murder turns Hannah's world upside-down and threatens to destroy everything she's built. When the truth of her identity is uncovered, thousands of protestors gather in front of her stately home. Hounded by the salacious press, the very private Mrs. Elias finds herself alone, ensnared in a scandalous trial, and accused of stealing her fortune from whites. Packed with glamour, suspense, and drama, populated with real-life luminaries from the period, The Great Mrs. Elias brings a fascinating woman and the age she embodied to glorious, tragic life"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Elias, Hannah|vFiction. 648 7 1898-1951|2fast 650 0 African American women|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vFiction. 650 0 Rich people|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vFiction. 650 0 Murder|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION / African American & Black / Historical|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION / Biographical|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION / Historical / General|2bisacsh 650 7 African American women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00799438 650 7 Murder.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 Rich people.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01097537 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|xHistory|y1898-1951|vFiction. 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204333 655 0 Biographical fiction. 655 0 Historical fiction. 655 7 Biographical fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 914 MID.b26824607 914 FARM287301 994 C0|bGWV
