About this listen

Three generations of women in one family must reckon with the choices they have made and their hopes for the future.

New York, 1898. The only thing more shocking than Arthur Stanhope III’s unexpected death is the revelation that his will bestows his company—and most of the vast fortune that goes with it—to the nearest male heir, leaving his mother, wife, and daughter nearly impoverished. His widow, Sylvia, quickly realizes she must set aside her grief to ensure their daughter, Adelaide, is launched into society as soon as the appropriate mourning period passes. If Sylvia can find a wealthy husband for Addy before anyone realizes they’re practically destitute, there will be little disruption to the lifestyle they’re accustomed to.

Sylvia’s mother-in-law, Junietta, believes their life could use a little disruption. She has watched Sylvia play her role as a society wife, as Junietta once did, despite what it cost them both. Junietta vows to give her granddaughter the power to choose a path beyond what society expects. But for Addy to have that chance, both mother and grandmother must first confront painful truths about their own choices. Only in bringing their secrets to light can they hope to reshape their family inheritance into a legacy more fulfilling than they ever dared dream.

I enjoyed the story line that conveyed the history of the period. The story conveyed the potentially extremely different mindsets that people might have had; the grandmother’s mindset was distinctly 20th or 21st century though, which I thought was an interesting twist!

Historical interest

Easy to follow novel with a manageable number of people, each with their own fascinating story. The characters were believable and the setting was beautifully described throughout.

I couldn’t finish this book. I found the characters to be incredibly boring and weak. The pacing was slow. Even the interesting character, the grandmother, wasn’t enough to keep me engaged. Maybe it ended with a bang but I couldn’t waste any more time waiting to find out.

Boring!
