A Fool There Was (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A vivid portrait of power, loyalty, and shattered illusions in turn‑of‑the‑century New York. This historical fiction follows a tight-knit circle of wealthy families, where privilege masks private pains and every choice echoes across two continents—from a grand Fifth Avenue mansion to a distant Breton hut. As social masks slip, the book asks hard questions about duty, truth, and the costs of keeping secrets.

Two intertwined stories pull readers between dazzling city life and the harsh realities of broken promises. Richly drawn characters navigate love, obligation, and the pressure to maintain appearances, even as loyalties are tested and lines are drawn.

• Explore a world of social ritual, wealth, and the quiet power of reputation.


• Meet a cast of parents, spouses, and siblings whose bonds and betrayals ripple through their lives.


• Witness moments of moral conflict that question what we owe to one another.


• Experience atmospheric settings, from bustling metropolitan streets to distant shores.

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic American dramas of family, society, and ethical choices, told with a keen eye for character and motive.
