All That GlittersBy Lynette SowellDescription:When Francesca Wallingford first meets Count Philippe de la Croix, he turns her head. But then an old friend, Alfred Finley, returns to the society that scorned him years ago. A summer in Newport, Rhode Island, with its sequence of balls and cotillions, pits both men in a quest for Francesca’s hand. But what role does love and honor play when Francesca’s mother has her own agenda for her daughter to become a countess? Awards:
Why the author wrote this book:I love New England and I've always been fascinated by the Gilded Age. The mansions of Newport and their elite society were unrivaled in their time. I imagined a debutante, facing a forced engagement and all the entrapments thereof. No amount of money could buy her, or her family, true freedom. |
