Godbersen's tale of intrigue and deception takes place amidst glamorous upper-crust New York society in 1899. Elizabeth, Diana, and Penelope enjoy the privileges of youth and wealth while Lina, a household maid, aches to share in the same. Threats of financial ruin and romantic scandal ensue. It's Gossip Girl meets The Age of Innocence--fluffy but titillating entertainment.
