A Well-Behaved Woman By Therese Anne Fowler, Hachette.

Juliet Rieden
The Reading Room

There’s something utterly seductive about the opulence of America’s Gilded Age and it is into this world that Z author Therese Anne Fowler plunges us with the fascinating Alva Vanderbilt. This is fiction with a cleverly structured plot, but the author’s impeccable research shines through. “I always stick to the facts, inasmuch as they can be known,” Therese tells The Weekly. “I had a timeline of documented actions and events, and a lot of hearsay, and had to reconstruct what was possibly true.”
