You named a lot of them, but also think about how the book explores the increasing and changing rights of women at that time - they now had the right to vote, etc., plus they were gaining more sexual freedom. <br /><br />By the way, if you liked this book, you might be interested in Above All Things by Tanis Rideout. It is fairly new and is a historical fiction novel about George Mallory and his 1924 attempt to climb Mt. Everest. Intertwined within that story is the love story between George and his wife. It's pretty good. <br /><br />Happy Reading!<br /><br /> Amy Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625926910173281359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372881348177221750.post-70211207599739779722013-04-28T20:11:13.481-05:002013-04-28T20:11:13.481-05:00Amy, on your recommendation, I checked out the boo...Amy, on your recommendation, I checked out the book from the Westport library, and I'm so glad I did! It's fascinating, both because of the time period, the orphan trains, and the tie-in to the real-life Louise Brooks. I haven't quite finished it, and I can't wait to get back to it tonight. By tomorrow I'll be ready for our book-club-of-two. Name the time and the coffee shop!<br />Julie Thttp://www.catstitchstudio.comnoreply@blogger.com
