HTML:<b>Named one of the best books of 2018 by <i>The Washington Post, The Seattle Times,</i> and <i>The Advocate<br /></i><br /> "Staggeringly brilliant . . . You'll start <i>The Maze of Windermere</i> with bewilderment, but you'll close it in awe." —<i>The Washington Post</i></b><i><br /></i><b><i><b><br /></b></i>"Pitch perfect." <i>—</i>New York Times Book Review</b><br /> <br /> When a drunken party guest challenges him to a late-night tennis match, Sandy Allison finds himself unexpectedly entangled in the monied world of Newport, Rhode Island. A former touring pro a little down on his luck, Sandy has nothing to stake against the vintage motorcycle his opponent wagers. But then Alice DuPont—the young heiress to a Newport mansion called Windermere—offers up her diamond necklace.<br /> <br /> With this reckless wager begins a dazzling narrative odyssey that braids together four centuries of aspiration and adversity in this renowned seaside society capital. A witty and urbane bachelor of the Gilded Age embarks on a high-risk scheme to marry into a fortune; a young Henry James, soon to make his mark on the world, turns himself to his craft with harrowing social consequences; an aristocratic British officer during the American Revolution carries on a courtship that leads to murder; and, in Newport's earliest days, a tragically orphaned Quaker girl imagines a way forward for herself and the slave girl she has inherited.<br /> <br /> Gregory Blake Smith weaves these intersecting worlds into a rich, brilliant tapestry. A deftly layered novel of love, ambition, and duplicity, <i>The Maze at Windermere</i> charts a voyage across the ages into the maze of the human heart. Historical Fiction. Literature. Fiction.
