***Stretching from the early 1900s to World War I,*** this novel's setting roams from the bright glitter of Atlanta Society to the grime of cotton mills, from the quiet of the peaceful countryside to the violent cries of Atlanta race rioters. **It's a piece of history seldom talked about,** and it's written in that lovely, old-fashioned, eloquent English language that is so quickly disappearing.***—Goodreads member, Jessica (Aug 06, 2012), rated it 5 of 5 stars) ''...it was amazing''***
