\nAugust 16: The Lost Summers of Newport by Beatriz Williams\, Lauren Willig &\; Karen White
\nDe scription:
\n"Three stories elegantly intertwine in this cl ever and stylish tale of murder and family lies...This crackerjack novel o ffers three mysteries for the price of one."--Publishers Weekly (starred r eview)
\n2019: Andie Figuero has just landed her dream job as a prod ucer of Mansion Makeover\, a popular reality show about restoring America' s most lavish historic houses. Andie has high hopes for her latest project : the once glorious but gently crumbling Sprague Hall in Newport\, Rhode I sland\, summer resort of America's gilded class--famous for the lavish "su mmer cottages" of Vanderbilts and Belmonts. But Andie runs into trouble: t he reclusive heiress who still lives in the mansion\, Lucia "Lucky" Spragu e\, will only allow the show to go forward on two conditions: One\, nobody speaks to her. Two\, nobody touches the mansion's ruined boathouse.
\n1899: Ellen Daniels has been hired to give singing lessons to Miss Mayb elle Sprague\, a naive young Colorado mining heiress whose stepbrother Joh n has poured their new money into buying a place among Newport's elite. Jo hn is determined to see Maybelle married off to a fortune-hunting Italian prince\, and Ellen is supposed to polish up the girl for her launch into s ociety. But the deceptively demure Ellen has her own checkered past\, and she's hiding in plain sight at Sprague Hall.
\n1958: Lucia "Lucky" S prague has always felt like an outsider at Sprague Hall. When she and her grandmother--the American-born Princess di Conti--fled Mussolini's Italy\, it seemed natural to go back to the imposing Newport house Nana owned but hadn't seen since her marriage in 1899. Over the years\, Lucky's lost her Italian accent and found a place for herself among the yachting set by ma rrying Stuyvesant Sprague\, the alcoholic scion of her Sprague stepfamily. But one fateful night in the mansion's old boathouse will uncover a devas tating truth...and change everything she thought she knew about her past.< /p>\n
As the cameras roll on Mansion Makeover\, the house begins to yiel d up the dark secrets the Spragues thought would stay hidden forever....\nhttps://dedhamlibrary.libnet.info/event/11039841 URL;VALUE=URI:https://dedhamlibrary.libnet.info/event/11039841 ATTACH:https://static.libnet.info/images/events/dedhamlibrary/Senior_Cente r_BG_Communico.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
