Описание: Who knew the wilderness could be so seductive?In this first book of a trilogy, Imaginary Brightness is a Gilded Age drama about the lives of William West Durant and his sister Ella, the children of the powerful American industrialist and railroad tycoon Dr. Thomas C. Durant. William and Ella find their fortunes and reputations threatened by their father's questionable business dealings as head of the Union Pacific Railroad during the construction of the Transcontinental Line. As the family's finances teeter on the brink of bankruptcy, both brother and sister are whisked from their privileged lifestyle in high society London to the untamed Adirondack forests. It is in this wilderness landscape that the tension between passion and propriety, their future and their family, turn their worlds upside down. Imaginary Brightness explores the early conquest of the great north woods, eavesdrops on America's robber barons from the supper clubs of Manhattan, and reveals the inner turmoil of a dynastic American family.

Описание: William and Ella Durant head towards an increasingly inevitable collision as they wrangle over their father's legacy.When their father, Doc Durant, dies, William and Ella are finally free of his domineering control to pursue their ambitions. William is now head of the family. Without his father's ruthlessness and business savvy, he resorts to creative but dubious financial scheming to save what remains of the family fortune and fulfill his visions of grandeur for the Adirondack wilderness as a playground for the rich. Ella takes off for London to chase her own dream-to return to high society life, become a successful author, and mingle with literary giants. But she struggles to cope as William tightens the purse strings and restricts her freedom, while her feelings for a gallant and enigmatic French aristocrat turn into obsession.
