During New York City's Gilded Age, Clara Carter is given her orders: secure a marriage proposal or your family is doomed. But she cannot just marry anyone. No, she must marry Franklin De Vries, The Heir. The dizzying plot of a young girl learning endless lists of etiquette rules, dance steps, proper attire, cinching of corsets (to the determent of her health), and the art of being able to carry on a conversation with someone who doesn't speak is intriguing. A story I enjoyed, thankful every page that I did not have to experience this scenario, and realizing that many young women in the not-to-distant past, did.
