I am very excited to be able to give you all a peek at the cover for What the Lady Wants by Renee Rosen. This book looks fantastic! I only wish that it were coming out sooner so I could read it before I go to Chicago for vacation at the end of June (I love, love, love reading books about places that I'm traveling to; it makes armchair traveling even better)! Alas, the book doesn't come out until November!!!
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
In late 19th century Chicago, visionary retail tycoon
Marshall Field made his fortune wooing women customers with his famous
motto:“Give the lady what she wants.”
His legendary charm also won the heart of socialite Delia Spencer, and
led to an infamous love affair.
The night of the Great Fire, as seventeen-year-old Delia
watched the flames rise and consume what had been the pioneer town of Chicago,
she couldn’t imagine how much her life, her city, and her whole world was about
to change. Nor would she have guessed that the agent of that change would
not simply be the fire, but more so the man she met that night…
Leading the way in rebuilding after the fire, Marshall Field reopens his well-known dry goods store and transforms it into something the world has never seen before: a glamorous palace of a department store. He and his powerhouse coterie— including Potter Palmer and George Pullman—usher in the age of robber barons, the American royalty of their generation.
But behind the opulence, their private lives are riddled
with scandal and heartbreak. Delia and Marshall first turn to each other out of
loneliness, but as their love deepens, they will stand together despite disgrace
and ostracism, through an age of devastation and opportunity, when an
adolescent Chicago was transformed into the Gleaming White City of the
Chicago’s World’s Fair of 1893.
