Packed with action and more family secrets than you can shake a stick at, this story of one family who benevolently rules their Virginia county during Prohibition is hard to put down. The story follows youngest daughter Sallie as she navigates the many twists and turns of her own family tree to ascend to the “throne” of her father, the Duke, who is nothing if not local royalty. (1/2)

LeafingThroughLife This rollicking historical novel was entertaining as it unfolded but has a soap opera quality to it that makes it a bit forgettable once the last page is turned. A soft pick. (2/2) 6d
ferskner The fact that this was based on the Tudors was what made it for me! 5d

TheSpineView Great job! 10mo
random_michelle I've been enjoying this series quite a bit, though I like the series set in England during the Napoleonic era a little better. 10mo

Lower end of pick scale. I like the characters and the setting — Jazz Age New York — but I didn‘t find the mystery particularly interesting. Vivian and Honor are eventually going to have to make up their minds about each other. Outside walk today was lovely. #audiowalk

I think I read these books for the characters rather than the mystery. In this one, Bea‘s uncle dies; everyone but Vivian thinks it‘s a suicide. Florence comes more into her own here. I had to walk inside today because of the rain. #audiowalk

Book 19 of Elm Creek Quilts series. Setting is California wine country in early 1900s. Rosa is married to an abusive husband but is in love with Lars who is related to Henry and Elizabeth Jorgensen. Elizabeth is an older cousin of Sylvia who settled in California . Fascinating story amid the years of Prohibition.
