En savoir plus sur le livre

A sophisticated novel about the excesses and lifestyle of the fabulously rich in 1895 New York and Newport. A scandalousnewspaper story creates a crisis for the unconventional heroine, forcing her to choose between her real estate tycoon husband, the British marquess who seduced her at 15, and the young lover, described in a tabloid as her "summer toy." The contrasts between rich and poor are stunning; she plans to ride a camel into her ballroom while a sweatshop burns and a mob invades the grounds of her mansion. Gives a picture of high society and high finance.
