Özet
 The USA Today Bestseller!

Named one of 2021’s Most Anticipated Historical Novels by Oprah Daily ∙ SheReads ∙ Frolic ∙ BookReporter ∙ and more...

The author of Park Avenue Summer throws back the curtain on one of the most remarkable feuds in history: Alva Vanderbilt and the Mrs. Astor's notorious battle for control of New York society during the Gilded Age.

1876. In the glittering world of Manhattan's upper crust, women are valued by their pedigree, dowry, and, most importantly, connections. They have few rights and even less independence—what they do have is society. The more celebrated the hostess, the more powerful the woman. And none is more powerful than Caroline Astor—the Mrs. Astor.

But times are changing.

Alva Vanderbilt has recently married into one of America's richest families. But what good is dizzying wealth when society refuses to acknowledge you? Alva, who knows what it is to have nothing, will do whatever it takes to have everything.

Sweeping three decades and based on true events, this is the mesmerizing story of two fascinating, complicated women going head to head, behaving badly, and discovering what’s truly at stake. Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Kadın Kurgu Kurgu Literary Fiction New York

I enjoyed the book but this author has been very kind to both central characters. Especially Alva, who was a very strong woman yes but she was also incredibly hard edged. She intimidated and bullied her daughter into an unhappy marriage. The book desperately try’s to rehabilitate this callous act as having being suggested by others but the person who ultimately benefited from this match was the Duke and Alva. I am yet to find a description of Alva that shows a sympathetic side of Alva AND that rings as true/reliable.
