Stacy’s transportation into a world of scandal and outrage
By Stacy Reeve / Spinebreakers Crew
Brush down your bonnets and tighten your corset because it is time to be propelled into 19th century Manhattan; where the girls are gorgeous, the boys dashing and the gossip flowing – this is The Luxe; prepare to be indulged.
Following society’s elite The Luxe is the epitome of a mature fairytale, with the good, the bad and the charming Prince (AKA the rich and supposedly irresistible Henry Schoonmaker).
Godbersen manages to create characters that you can’t help but engage with, and along with enough twists and turns to rival a rollercoaster The Luxe takes you through the highs – and lows – of life in the 19th century, and poses the questions: was it really that different to how we live today?
Combining this with extensive historical research Godbersen manages to create a book that is steeped with facts and events, igniting both intrigue and interest. History has never been so fascinating!
