About this product
Product Information
The USA Today Bestseller! Named one of 2021's Most Anticipated Historical Novels by Oprah Daily SheReads Frolic BookReporter and more... The author of Park Avenue Summer throws back the curtain on one of the most remarkable feuds in history: Alva Vanderbilt and the Mrs. Astor's notorious battle for control of New York society during the Gilded Age. 1876 . In the glittering world of Manhattan's upper crust, women are valued by their pedigree, dowry, and, most importantly, connections. They have few rights and even less independence--what they do have is society. The more celebrated the hostess, the more powerful the woman. And none is more powerful than Caroline Astor-- the Mrs. Astor. But times are changing. Alva Vanderbilt has recently married into one of America's richest families. But what good is dizzying wealth when society refuses to acknowledge you? Alva, who knows what it is to have nothing, will do whatever it takes to have everything. Sweeping three decades and based on true events, this is the mesmerizing story of two fascinating, complicated women going head to head, behaving badly, and discovering what's truly at stake.

Reviews
"Rosen's novel opens with a sly wink to that grande dame of the Gilded Age, Edith Wharton, before she deftly spins a captivating tale of her own, based upon the legendary rivalry between Caroline Astor and Alva Vanderbilt. And what a rich story it is, full of opulent balls and monstrous mansions, yet firmly rooted in the parallel struggles of two very different heroines as they fight for their dignity and rights as wives, as mothers, and as women." -- Fiona Davis , bestselling author of GMA Book Club Pick The Lions of Fifth Avenue "As ever, Rosen shines with impeccable research and eloquent prose. Readers will relish this peek behind the curtain of New York's most rich and famous families and follow with interest, amusement and even shock, the escapades of these strong and savvy women. Enjoy!" -- Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris "Both an intimate portrait of two intriguing women and a sweeping depiction of Gilded Age society. Rosen's characters leap off the page with vivid description and poignant emotion. Richly detailed and meticulously researched--historical fiction readers will love The Social Graces !" -- Chanel Cleeton , New York Times bestselling author of The Last Train to Key West "By turns tender and devastating, this beautifully written novel kept me in thrall to the end." -- Kerri Maher , author of The Girl in White Gloves "Renée Rosen at her finest!

I can't remember the last book that made me gasp "Oh, no!" as many times at unexpected reversals. The pages all but turned themselves!" -- Julia Claiborne Johnson bestselling author of Be Frank With Me "Rosen once again brings history to life with vivid storytelling and impeccable research. Caroline Astor and Alva Vanderbilt are formidable opponents as old money clashes with new money in the battle to reign among New York's upper crust.
