A riveting tale from the writer of The Orphanmaster about a wild girl from Nevada who lands in Manhattan's Gilded Age society. Jean Zimmerman's new book explains to of the remarkable events that transpire when an alluring, blazingly smart 18-year-old girl called Bronwyn, reputedly lifted by wolves in the wilds of Nevada, is adopted in 1875 by the Delegates, an outlandishly wealthy Manhattan few, and taken again East to be civilized and unveiled into high culture. Bronwyn visits the highly mannered world of Edith Wharton - time Manhattan just like a bomb. Some suitors, both young and old, find her irresistible, however the willful girl's illicit lovers begin to turn up murdered. Zimmerman's tale is narrated by the Delegate's boy, a Harvard anatomy university student. The tormented, self-dramatizing Hugo Delegate speaks from a prison cell where he's prepared to take the land for his favorite Savage Woman. This narrative - a love story and a mystery with a powerful sense of fable - is his confession.
