A Fine Imitation by Amber Brock

4.0

This is the story of a wealthy socialite in Prohibition-era New York City, and her struggle to break out from under the expectations placed on her by her family and husband, and find a life that has vibrancy and meaning. It moves back and forth between 1923 and 1913. In 1923, she's struggling to understand her attraction to a painter working in her building, and in 1913 she's at Vassar and we see her start to lean towards a life that's not the one planned for her. I liked the characters, and while the epilogue was very much a movie montage, it worked for me.
