While New York society in the Roaring Twenties witnessed more than a few scandals, the real-life Rhinelander case set tongues wagging and became perhaps the most examined interracial relationship in American history. Richard Stratton reimagines this remarkable story, from the coupleâs courtship through their controversial marriage to their shocking divorce trial and its aftermath. Chronicled by Aliceâs attorney, brilliant trial lawyer Lee Parsons Davis, and told in flashbacks and entries from Alice and Kipâs fictional personal diaries, this epic page-turner vividly brings to life the New York of a century agoâa world seemingly far removed yet tragically familiar to our own. 541 $d 20221118. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 $a Interracial marriage $v Fiction. 650 $a Divorce $x Fiction. 651 $a New York (N.Y) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. 941 $a 28 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043413.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012646.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024254.0 952 $l TNPD062 $d 20240123010930.0 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20231227013629.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231128010438.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031253.0 952 $l PZPA094 $d 20230919010604.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011446.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20230627011642.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20230404015250.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20230404015134.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20230325011039.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20230325010427.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20230302023340.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230222012750.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230218010832.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011406.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230111010625.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230104010151.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20221228010349.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20221220013438.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20221208011649.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221208011029.0 952 $l UHPB911 $d 20221206140824.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20221203071820.0 952 $l ZVPB675 $d 20221201100304.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20221124010032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA3F00466BC511EDB577093D34ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
