'Gripping courtroom drama and social commentary . . . the story flows well . . . (the author is) masterful in building suspense.''Kirkus Reviews, Richard Stratton reimagines this remarkable story, from the couple's courtship through their controversial marriage to their shocking divorce trial and its aftermath. Chronicled by Alice's attorney, brilliant trial lawyer Lee Parsons Davis, and told in flashbacks and entries from Alice and Kip's fictional personal diaries, this epic page-turner vividly brings to life the New York of a century ago'a world seemingly far removed yet tragically familiar to our own.Stratton brilliantly evokes this dazzling era in all its glamour and excess, and in retelling the Rhinelander story, explores issues of sex, race, class, prejudice, and justice that are as relevant today as they were a century ago when this headline-making trial took place.
