Giveaway: Belle Cora by Phillip Margulies
Thanks to Lauren Hesse of Doubleday, I am giving away one copy of Belle Cora.
Based loosely on the life of the 19th-century prostitute of the same name, the book is written in the form of a two-volume memoir by one of San Francisco’s richest and most revered dowagers. In it, the heroine tells the story of her moral fall and material rise over the course of the century, carrying her from the farms, mills, drawing rooms (and bedrooms) of New York to the California gold rush.

I think the historical aspect is the most interesting. Plus the idea that it takes place on both coasts in those days should make for some interesting comparisons in lifestyle. Thanks.
