Glamour & Intrigue

If you enjoyed watching the glamorous Academy Awards -- the winners, the losers, the dresses, the hair, the jewelry -- then you certainly would enjoy reading The Luxe, by Anna Godbersen. Taking place at the turn of the century, The Luxe chronicles Manhattan's high society, following its characters through one grand party after another. No details are spared as outfits are described, secret trysts are discovered, and dramatic events unfold. As one reader said, "From page one, her [Godbersen's] lavish descriptions of old time New York City, and high society hooked me; while her gossip-loving, well-dressed characters reeled me in. The scandal and mystery wrapped inside this charmed world, of course, didn't hurt the story at all." This book has the makings of a winner!
