Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the scandalous story of a young woman of the haut monde who rejects a wealthy fiancà for a penniless foreigner. Vilified by society for her choices, Sybilla Jingle becomes a controversial figure within a set of characters that satirizes New York's high society during the Gilded Age. The author provides a raw and critical look at the social and economic disparities of the time, as Sybilla's relationship faces the prejudices and financial pressures of her social circle, engaging with themes of love, filial duty, and female independence. The story is set against the glamorous backdrop of New York's Gilded Age, with its extravagant balls, summer cottages, and the conspicuous consumption of the upper class. Tackling themes of social status, class, and familial struggle, the author paints a vivid portrait of love, loss, and the struggle to maintain integrity against the odds.
