“ A Splendid Ruin”


 

1904 - 1907. San Francisco. Corruption. Murder. Inheritance. Greed. Earthquake. Revenge. 


What happens when you trust unconditionally? What happens when you realize you’ve been “played”? What happens when your talents are amazing, except that you’re a woman? What happens when your naïveté lands you in an insane asylum? What happens when the 1906 earthquake presents you with an opportunity you didn’t see coming? What happens when your plans for revenge come to fruition? What happens? Satisfaction? Joy? A happily-ever-after? 


Loved the history of this novel. However, I was disappointed that the author didn’t share any of her research, or where she “re-imagined” history.
