Today‘s Prompt: MARRIES

Saving the family means having to marry for money and endure all the debutante balls. 

FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/2syu7naz

Historical fiction about the American south. A house and family have no money post wwi and a daughter marries to save the family. This book follows her stories.

A sad yet lovely story of the dying age of the richness and luxury pre WW1. Antithesis of #thegreatgatsy , it encapsulates that era, focussing more disinctly on the decay, decadence and debauchery. Great depiction of the architecture, the fashion and the opnion of others driving people and their #choices. The breakdown of a #relationship of a mother and son who end up in #love with the same man is an incredibly well told tale.

THE DYING OF THE LIGHT by Robert Goolrick.

Mr. Goolrick can always tell a great story with beautiful words.

And...how about that gorgeous cover?

This is the first book I have read by Robert Goodrich. I did not care for this one. The writing wars not very good. There wasn‘t that much of a cohesive story to it.

AWESOME READ!!​ FULL REVIEW IS ON JULY 5.

"THE DYING OF THE LIGHT is in typical Robert Goolrick fashion - excellent, descriptive writing, love, scandals, sex, ​mystery, ​and intrigue.

The cover is stunning, and a​s you continue reading, you will understand the meaning of the title.

If you have enjoyed Mr. Goolrick's other books, I know you will enjoy THE DYING OF THE LIGHT.

And what an amazing ending. 5/5"

5. No weekend plans.

1. I enjoyed Robert Goolrick‘s books The Reliable Wife and Heading Out to Wonderful so I wanted to give his new one a try.

2. Mom always took us to the library to get Nancy Drew books.

3. I like to read in the afternoon outside if it is nice, but I usually read in the night.

4. Characters from Shadow of the Wind, The Lost for Words Bookshop, and Beach House Reunion.

Thanks for the fun questions.

Sumptuous, exquisite, heart-breaking.

And then there‘s this.
