This is a wonderful book. Set in 1893 during the World's Fair in Chicago, the reader gets a wonderful glimpse of life back then. The story revolves around a 20 yr. old girl names Violet & her grandmother & 3 aunts, all of whom are trying to match her up with a suitable mate. One aunt wants Violet to marry for money, one wants her to marry only for love, one wants her to stay single & join the Suffragettes & her grandmother wants her to marry a minister. While Violet has to sort through each of these possibilities, the one man she is drawn to she thinks is not a suitable match. Mixed in with it all is Violet's search for her mother her left her & her father when she was a child. It's a fascinating read & I won't spoil the ended for you. But there are also alot of lessons about what a good marriage is all about. I highly recommend this book.
