Résumé

Headless dolls, horse races, and arson-the tools of passion. Caroline Corbett is ready for the twentieth century, excited to find work and meet new people-but she gets more than she expected when a rough-hewn Lowcountry farmer and a small-town doctor both engage her affections. The broad-shouldered, broad-humored farmer is clear about his desires, and he's there for her. The doctor is sophisticated, educated, and obviously the right choice-but sees no reason to dwell on certain realities.
Caroline must decide between them, but in doing so she fails to consider the girl Jessie. A young sociopath bent on her own way, Jessie Bell sees very good reasons to dredge up unpleasant realities-and to create new ones. Before long, this South Carolina landscape is riddled with the detritus of her intense jealousies, which have set astonishing and horrifying events into motion.*IndieBRAG medallion recipient.*Shelf Unbound Finalist for 2021 Best Indie Book Award.*Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2021 Finalist in the category of Historical Fiction.*American Fiction Awards 2021 Finalist in the category of Family Saga.*Shortlisted for the 2021 Goethe Award by Chanticleer International.*Book Excellence Awards 2022 Finalist in the Historical category.*National Indie Excellence Awards 16th Annual Finalist in the category of Regional Fiction: Southeast."The social realism of Jane Austen meets the Southern gothic of Flannery O'Connor in this absorbing novel by Sophia Alexander.
Silk: Caroline's Story explores questions of longing and desire, of jealousy and heartbreak, and of the fateful choices that shape one's destiny--or doom us completely. Alexander has a true gift for illuminating the most intimate desires of her historical characters in this richly drawn book that I couldn't put down." -Sarah Domet, critically-acclaimed author of The Guineveres.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Sophia Alexander

Sophia Alexander writes character-driven historical novels that grip readers' emotions and surprise them with unexpected twists. A native of the South Carolina Lowcountry, she now lives in Savannah, Georgia, with her husband. At times her son and daughter hop back in the nest for short stays, during their breaks from college. Sophia enjoys visiting the beach late in the evenings and is afflicted with bouts of genealogy obsession, which is how she ran across vague mentions of some of the characters that inspired The Silk Trilogy.
