Hardback. Zustand: Good. One of Book Riot's 8 Anticipated 2021 Nonfiction Books The Gilded Edge is a compelling read from start to finish. Gripping, suspenseful, cinematic. This is narrative nonfiction at its best.-Lindsey Fitzharris, Bestselling Author of The Butchering Art Astonishingly well written, painstakingly researched, and set in the evocative locations of earthquake-ravaged San Francisco and the Monterey Peninsula, the true story of two women--a wife and a poet--who learn the high price of sexual and artistic freedom in a vivid depiction of the debauchery of the late Gilded Age Nora May French and Carrie Sterling arrive at Carmel-by-the-Sea at the turn of the twentieth century with dramatically different ambitions. Nora, a stunning, brilliant, impulsive writer in her early twenties, seeks artistic recognition and bohemian refuge among the most celebrated counterculturalists of the era. Carrie, long-suffering wife of real estate developer George Sterling, wants the opposite: a semblance of the stability she thought her advantageous marriage would offer, now that her philandering husband has taken to writing poetry. After her second abortion, Nora finds herself in a desperate situation but is rescued by an invitation to stay with the Sterlings. To Carrie's dismay, George and the arrestingly beautiful poetess fall instantly into an affair. The ensuing love triangle, which ultimately ends with the deaths of all three, is more than just a wild love story and a fascinating forgotten chapter. It questions why Nora May--in her day a revered poet whose nationally reported suicide gruesomely inspired youths across the country to take their own lives, with her verses in their pockets no less--has been rendered obscure by literary history. It depicts America at a turning point, as the Gilded Age groans in its death throes and young people, particularly young women, look toward a bright, progressive, more egalitarian future. In an unfortunately familiar development, this vision proves a mirage. But women's rage at the scam redefines American progressivism forever. For readers of Nathalia Holt, Denise Kiernan, and Sonia Purnell, this shocking history with a feminist bite is not to be missed.…

Zustand: VERY GOOD. First printing. Set in the then Bohemian Carmel-by-the-Sea in the years just before and after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, this chronicles both the early years of the development of the town as a center of the arts (a real estate driven image to encourage sales), gives glimpses into the lives of many of the prominent writers of the time, including Jack London and Mary Austin, but focuses on the affair between the talented poet Nora May French and the charismatic but philandering George Sterling, much to the distress of his wife, Carrie. This scandalous romance unravels amidst artistic ambition and societal constraints, ending in the suicides of all three figures. As Prendergast pieces together fragmented records, revealing how women's lives were deliberately obscured in archives, the research itself becomes a compelling part of the story - and it reveals the harsh realities faced by women seeking independence. Illustrated with photographs. Bibliography, notes, index. vii, 340 pp. Very good in very good dust jacket.…
