She Walks in Beauty

In the past, you may have read my opinions of [a:Siri Mitchell 5813022 Siri Mitchell https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1545852717p2/5813022.jpg] and seen that I enjoy the writing, but that the story was imperceptibly depressing. I was shocked and appauled with the lack of soul in [b:Constant Heart, A 6648596 A Constant Heart Siri Mitchell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328335698l/6648596.SY75.jpg 2899170] yet the historical elements were incredible and the writing so true. It was in reading [b:Love's Pursuit 6668876 Love's Pursuit Siri Mitchell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328337958l/6668876.SY75.jpg 5948898] that each page was not able to turn fast enough and I was truly stumped until the end but still taken aback and frustrated with the circumstances and sadness of the situation. Yet [b:She Walks in Beauty 6605685 She Walks in Beauty Siri Mitchell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1342575442l/6605685.SY75.jpg 6799599] is a delight, a breath of fresh air, and quite the heart titillating beat within a prose of words met by the ear as poetry. I loved this novel. Each page was another treasure. Every time I had to leave the novel and come back to the story it was as if I were returning to a friend. In years passed I have always wanted to read a tale about the Golden Age in New York City and this novel was not one to disappoint. Yes it had the historical details and some harsh facts which I have come to know Siri's books for. Yet this one has a heart and a soul with tons of personality that laced through the pages and made the next chapter more than just a little something worth coming back for. Clara Carter is a debutante, and this is her story. It is a suspense, it is a hard life and facts historical, it is a romance, and it is a tragedy. I highly recommend it.
