Synopsis

In The House of a Merchant Prince: A Novel of New York, power and family ambition collide in a bustling Gilded Age city. A behind-the-scenes world of finance, fashion, and fast-paced urban life shapes the fortunes and fates of a prominent trading house and those tied to it.

Set amid doorways, warehouses, and fashionable salons, the story follows Ottilie Harvey and her formidable relatives as they navigate wealth, duty, and romance. The novel blends street-level detail with high-society maneuvering, where a single decision can shift loyalties and reshape a family’s future.

- Meet a powerful merchant prince and his network of partners, clients, and rivals.
- Witness the planning and precision behind a winter social season that rules New York’s upper crust.
- See the pull between family obligation, personal desire, and the cost of ambition.
- Feel the texture of a city as it grows, with street life, fashion, and bold ambition interwoven.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction set in a vividly drawn late-19th-century New York, where business and romance walk side by side.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

February afternoon. A young girl sat in an open hackney coach amid the most extreme bustle and uproar of New York. She was looking out with interest at the front of one of the great wholesale dry-goods stores situated on that part of Broadway near Canal Street. Some modest traveling trunks were strapped behind the hackney coach. The simple inscription on two zinc tablets attached to iron columns of the front, was Rodman Harvey Co. The plate-glass windows presented to the street only the cold shoulders, as it were, of some bolts of the variety of textile fabrics contained within. At this dignified height in trade a petty display is un necessary. Whoever knew anything of the circum stances knew that Rodman Harvey Co. was one of the oldest and strongest concerns in the metrop olis.
