Beschreibung
Both books in Donna Russo Morin's 'Newport's Gilded Age', a series of historical fiction, now available in one volume!
Gilded Summers: Pearl and Ginevra grow up in the era known as the Gilded Age in Newport, Rhode Island. Surrounded by Astors and Vanderbilts, Pearl fills her days with teatime and shallow friendships, yearning for something more. A chance meeting with Mary Cassatt sparks her secret desire to be an artist. Meanwhile Ginevra, fresh off the boat from Italy, finds her own dreams out of reach as she joins the unwelcoming household as a servant and seamstress. The girls become fast friends, but must keep their friendship hidden from Pearl’s controlling mother. Soon, the two young women must decide who they want to be in this world, and survive what it takes to get there…even if it includes murder.
Gilded Dreams: The battle for the vote is on fire in America. The powerful and rich women of Newport, Rhode Island nearly single-handedly funded the major suffrage parties. Yet they have been left out of history, tossed aside as mere socialites. Pearl and Ginevra are college graduates, professional women, wives, and mothers. The two progressive women have fought their way through some of life’s harshest challenges. Now they set their sights on the vote, the epitome of all they have struggled for, the embodiment of their dreams. From the sinking of the Titanic, through World War 1, Pearl and Ginevra are once more put to the test.
