The Chelsea Girls
ISBN: 978-1524744588 Год издания: 2019 Издательство: Dutton Аннотация
The bright lights of the theater district, the glamour and danger of 1950s New York, and the wild scene at the iconic Chelsea Hotel come together in a dazzling new novel about a twenty-year friendship that will irrevocably change two women's lives—from the national bestselling author of The Dollhouse and The Address.
From the dramatic redbrick facade to the sweeping staircase dripping with art, the Chelsea Hotel has long been New York City's creative oasis for the many artists, writers, musicians, actors, filmmakers, and poets who have called it home—a scene playwright Hazel Riley and actress Maxine Mead are determined to use to their advantage. Yet they soon discover that the greatest obstacle to putting up a show on Broadway has nothing to do with their art, and everything to do with politics. A Red scare is sweeping across America, and Senator Joseph McCarthy has started a witch hunt for Communists, with those in the entertainment industry in the crosshairs. As the pressure builds to name names, it is more than Hazel and Maxine's Broadway dreams that may suffer as they grapple with the terrible consequences, but also their livelihood, their friendship, and even their freedom.
Spanning from the 1940s to the 1960s, The Chelsea Girls deftly pulls back the curtain on the desperate political pressures of McCarthyism, the complicated bonds of female friendship, and the siren call of the uninhibited Chelsea Hotel. -

The Magnolia Palace
ISBN: 9780593184011, 0593184017 Год издания: 2022 Издательство: Dutton Аннотация
Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue, returns with a tantalizing novel about the secrets, betrayal, and murder within one of New York City’s most impressive Gilded Age mansions.
Eight months since losing her mother in the Spanish flu outbreak of 1919, twenty-one-year-old Lillian Carter’s life has completely fallen apart. For the past six years, under the moniker Angelica, Lillian was one of the most sought-after artists’ models in New York City, with statues based on her figure gracing landmarks from the Plaza Hotel to the Brooklyn Bridge. But with her mother gone, a grieving Lillian is rudderless and desperate—the work has dried up and a looming scandal has left her entirely without a safe haven. So when she stumbles upon an employment opportunity at the Frick mansion—a building that, ironically, bears her own visage—Lillian jumps at the chance. But the longer she works as a private secretary to the imperious and demanding Helen Frick, the daughter and heiress of industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick, the more deeply her life gets intertwined with that of the family—pulling her into a tangled web of romantic trysts, stolen jewels, and family drama that runs so deep, the stakes just may be life or death.
Nearly fifty years later, mod English model Veronica Weber has her own chance to make her career—and with it, earn the money she needs to support her family back home—within the walls of the former Frick residence, now converted into one of New York City’s most impressive museums. But when she—along with a charming intern/budding art curator named Joshua—is dismissed from the Vogue shoot taking place at the Frick Collection, she chances upon a series of hidden messages in the museum: messages that will lead her and Joshua on a hunt that could not only solve Veronica’s financial woes, but could finally reveal the truth behind a decades-old murder in the infamous Frick family. -

Книжные черви с Пятой Авеню
Год издания: 2023 Издательство: Аркадия Язык: Русский Аннотация
1913 год, Нью-Йорк. Если подняться по узкой лестнице на антресольный этаж знаменитой Публичной библиотеки, окажешься в потайной квартире управляющего Джека Лайонса и его жены Лоры. Они живут здесь со своими двумя детьми, которым из-за занятости не могут уделять много времени. Стремящаяся к независимости Лора учится в школе журналистики и заводит новые связи, в том числе любовную, а Джек пишет книгу. Неожиданно из фондов Публички начинают пропадать раритеты, и вскоре супруги оказываются в числе подозреваемых…
Минуло 80 лет. Теперь в библиотеке служит Сэйди, внучка Лоры и Джека. Она занимает ответственную должность и обожает свою работу. Тайна похищенных в начале века книг так и не была раскрыта, и тут происходят новые кражи старинных книг. Похоже, давно заброшенная квартира Лайонсов хранит страшное объяснение происходящему.
