Ohhh, I’ve gone all period drama-esque and am currently reading a fabulous-o book, The Luxe by Anna Godbersen. It’s like Gossip Girl, but with frillier frocks and cut-a-dash boys - what’s not to love exactly?
The blurb: “…Glittering with jewels, brimming with secrets and loaded with eligible young men, this is New York City - 1899. Society’s elite: the glamour, the grandeur, the glittering parties, the most beautiful debutantes, the most handsome men. The rich girl, the humble boy, the forbidden love, the hushed whispers, the sin, the scandal, the mystery, the revenge.
You are cordially invited to step into The Luxe, where the secrets are dark and the sins are delicious…”
I’m not finished yet, but s’far it’s positively filled-to-the brim with tafetta, intrigue and a hefty dose of scandal and it’s set in NYC and you know I LOVE the NYC, whether it’s now, or in 1899!
You can get your very own copy when it hits the shelf, 3rd July 2008
