“It was lost forever. You only gave that away once in a lifetime.”
With a heart still heavy and full of rage, Elfie follows Angus to America. Other adventures await them there: picturesque, exhilarating, in this new world so far from their old Europe. So much youth, such dedication, such hope —it’s enough to make one think that anything is possible in this new nation just emerging from the Civil War. But the freedom recently granted to former slaves is still far from liberating a people, far from accepting a man like Angus, and even further from liberating women. Elfie will learn this the hard way. In this fourth season of the historical romance ELFIE Series, thanks to Gabrielle Dubois’s, thorough yet understated research, we see how the French, through Elfie’s eyes, viewed Americans in the 19th century: it’s amusing, serious, interesting, and always captivating, and the illustrations in each chapter draw us into the book as if we were watching a movie!
Excerpt:
“Elfie should have realized that the starry sky, the snowy sleigh ride, the red velvet couch were nothing but stage scenery. Real feelings weren’t found on the boards of a theater. But if they didn’t exist in real life either, what was the point of continuing to search?
This entire story had been nothing but a trick. How were others able to distinguish the real from the false? Would she ever be able to do that some day? It didn’t matter, Elfie didn’t ever want to try again.”
Readers reviews:
“A cliffhanger of a season. Don’t make the same mistake I did: buy the next book, because you can’t imagine how disappointed I was when I realized I didn’t have it.”
"After Italy, our favorite couple, Angus and Elfie, take us to America! Once again, I was swept up in the whirlwind of their adventures! I laughed, I reflected, and I was moved... this fourth volume is also such an easy read.... A true feast for the soul! Once you start, you can’t stop!!"
“Elfie and Angus conquer a new world: New York, Boston, Cambridge… Elfie feels and experiences freedom, and Angus enjoys immense success in his work, but as is often the case, happiness and misfortune go hand in hand. Freedom, love, disappointment, and despair. It’s time to return to Europe!”
While Elfie brings back with her the most precious, yet most demanding souvenir in the world, we wonder: is there anything that can stop Angus the lion? Why is Oscar Delany back in Elfie’s life?
