"Myers satisfyingly concludes her historical trilogy set in the Gilded Age by presenting the detailed downfall of ruthless real estate mogul William West Durant; his exasperated wife, Janet; and his estranged sister, Ella. ... Readers will enjoy the historical details that bring this Gilded Age soap opera to life." Publishers Weekly

"Myers writes with skill and has chosen well in deeply researching the Durant saga, which remarkably parallels Greek tragedy. It’s a truly engrossing story, and Myers does it justice." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"What a fascinating historical novel! The Durant family is full of intriguing characters who are realistic, as one would hope in a historical fiction novel....Watching William and Ella try to outwit not only each other but those around them was fascinating, and I particularly enjoyed Ella making her way in a male-centric world that didn’t quite support an independent woman on her own yet.... It’s obvious that the author did a lot of research for this novel and it has really paid off. The characters are well thought out and developed, the story flows well between the time periods and the pages, and the setting is descriptive and hooks the reader in." - Judge 28th Writers Digest Book Awards
