Rating:

4 out of 5

Suggested audience:

Fans of historical fiction set in the time of the Gilded Age

Christian impact:

One of the things the author does without actually preaching is that she uses her characters and the situations they are in to demonstrate the roles of women and the demands put on them in that age and to show the changes occurring in the world.
