Set in New York City in 1891, an unsuspecting and unprepared young woman is thrust into the public eye; one of several young ladies making a debut that season. The goal? To catch and marry the wealthiest heir, by any means necessary. There are rules, but some rules are meant to be broken. There are friendships, but all is fair in love and war… isn’t it?
In a time when young women were discouraged from educating themselves in anything other than social manipulation and the pursuit of the highest possible status (via marriage), Clara Carter finds herself in a completely undesirable environment. With no options and no permissible voice of her own, she becomes a pawn in a game larger than she could ever imagine.
A phenomenal piece of historical fiction, She Walks In Beauty is a tragic reminder of our societal past. Mitchell writes with exquisite detail, passion and clarity drawing the reader into every moment of her young heroines life. This is one book I could not put down, devouring all 392 pages in less than a day.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
