A Certain Age

LoveReading Says

As decadent and scandalous as New York Society in the roaring twenties, A Certain Age will whisk you back to a time of Jazz, elegance, charm, and murder as only Beatriz Williams can.  

The world is slowly recovering from the horrors of the Great War.  Women’s hemlines are rising and the world offers new freedoms to them.  Mrs Theresa Marshall loves her husband but she’s also fallen for her young lover, Captain Octavian Rofrano.  After Theresa’s brother announces his engagement to a young, beautiful heiress he asks her to find him a Cavalier to propose to the girl in question in true Marshall tradition.  She turns to Rofrano to carry out this small favour and sets in motion a string of events that will change their lives forever.  

Thrilling and heady, A Certain Age is a delightful novel to escape into. ~ Shelley Fallows
