A captivating debut novel from Avery Cunningham. This historical fiction, with its fair share of mystery and romance, captures 1920s Chicago and early 20th-century Black society beautifully. The story is a poignant commentary on race and class, and the intersection of both. Nelly's determination to be more than her last name makes her a formidable, although flawed, heroine. This book gives serious Peggy Scott vibes for fans of The Gilded Age!
