I agreed to read Relative Fortunes by Marlowe Benn because it is set in the 1920s in the United States and frankly there just is not enough of this time period in my opinion.

I also really like historical settings in books and this was a time period with a focus on writing that I have never read before. The book starts off in an exciting way with a girl […]
