Experience the pleasures and perils of the Gilded Age. Sex and the suffrage movement collide in Diana Forbes’s award-winning debut novel, Mistress Suffragette. A young woman without prospects at a ball in Gilded Age Newport, Rhode Island is a target for a certain kind of “suitor.” At the Memorial Day Ball during the Panic of 1893, impoverished but feisty Penelope Stanton quickly draws the unwanted advances of a villainous millionaire banker who preys on distressed women—the incorrigible Mr. Daggers. Better known as the philandering husband of the stunning socialite, Evelyn Daggers, Edgar stalks Penelope. $6.50 on Kindle.
