This is a fantastic work of historical fiction, based on the life of Arabella Huntington. I did not know anything about the Huntington family prior to reading this book. Now I’m obsessed. The Huntingtons were of the same wealth if not more than the Rockefeller's, Astor’s and the Vanderbilt’s and lived during the same gilded age period in NYC American history. I highly recommend picking up a copy of this finely written book.
