Our Kind of People by Carol Wallace
Fans of Pride and Prejudice will adore the relatable, charming Wilcox family, and Gossip Girl fans will revel in the cutthroat high society they inhabit.
“In Our Kind of People, Wallace draws us intimately into the opulent yet precarious elite world of late-1800s New York, and one family’s quest to cast its own destiny on the razor’s edge between glory and ruin. At times wickedly humorous, at times tender and tragic, this novel illuminates the strengths, vulnerabilities and dreams that are present within all of us. Wallace’s effervescent, pitch-perfect prose stole my heart.” —Roxanne Veletzos, author of The Girl They Left Behind and When the Summer Was Ours
