This is a cleverly woven story about life in Charleston and New York but also other parts of the world and woven around events in history. I recommend this book.

This installment of Alexandra Ripley's Old South saga-- begun in the bestselling Charleston-- traces the lives of the prominent South Carolina Tradd family from the turn of the century to 1935. From an ugly duckling love child, Garden Tradd became the glorious belle her mother, Margaret, had longed to be. With breathtaking abandon and dazzling innocence, Garden dances through Paris, London, and New York as the twenties roar-- until betrayal turns the glitter to bitter ash-- until vengeful secrets of the past send her home to Charleston, a city waiting to embrace its own or exact revenge.

Since I haven't read it in years, I can't remember names, but I do know that once you start it you won't be able to put it down.
It follows a woman from birth to her thirties.
It would take too long to give a synopsis, all I can say is if you like Historical Fiction, set in that time frame, you would love this book!
I only wish that it was both available in e-book format and the audiobook isn't abridged. ( )
