Pursuing in the steps of Beatriz Williams and Amor Towles, this richly atmospheric, spellbinding novel transports readers to the amazing, glamorous world of Newport during the Roaring Twenties and also to a mansion filled up with secrets as a debonair attorney must separate truth from deception. Spring 1921. THE FANTASTIC War is over, Prohibition is completely swing, the Depressive disorder still years away, and Newport, Rhode Island's glittering summer season cottages are inhabited by the gloriously rich people who built them. Lawyer Adrian De la Noye is not a stranger to Newport, having sheltered there during his misspent youth. Though he'd choose to forget the place, he returns to revise the will of the well-heeled customer. Bennett Chapman's offspring have the most common concerns about their father's much-younger fiance. However when they observe the old widower's organization idea that his first later wife, who communicates via seance, has chosen the beautiful Catherine Walsh for him, they're shocked. And then for Adrian, encountering Catherine within the last place he noticed her decades ago proves to be always a far greater delight. Still, De la Noye is here to handle a will, and he fully intends to take action - just as soon as he unearths every previous magic formula, otherworldly or not, about the Chapmans, Catherine Walsh - and his own very fraught history. A skillful alchemy of public satire, dark humor, and finely drawn character types, Newport vividly brings alive the glitzy time of the 1920s.
