Alva Vanderbilt was never just a well-behaved woman. Born to a struggling Southern family, she clawed her way into New York high society through a strategic marriage. But Alva wasn’t content with being a trophy wife. She had ambitions of her own, challenging the rigid social norms of the Gilded Age. Through her eyes, we witness the opulence and struggles of America’s wealthiest families. Fowler’s vivid prose brings to life a complex woman who was both a product of her time and ahead of it, leaving me pondering the true meaning of power and legacy.
Money brings a certain freedom, but it also brings a certain constraint.
