This one by women... A founding mother... 1774. Gently-bred noblewoman Adrienne Lafayette becomes her husband's political partner in the fight for American independence. But when their idealism sparks revolution in France and the guillotine threatens everything she holds dear, Adrienne must choose to renounce the complicated man she loves, or risk her life for a legacy that will inspire generations to come. A daring visionary... 1914. Glittering New York socialite Beatrice Astor Chanler is a force of nature, daunted by nothing--not her humble beginnings, her crumbling marriage, or the outbreak of war. But after witnessing the devastation in France and delivering war-relief over dangerous seas, Beatrice takes on the challenge of a lifetime- convincing America to fight for what's right. A reluctant resistor... 1940. French school-teacher and aspiring artist Marthe Simone has an orphan's self-reliance and wants nothing to do with war. But as the realities of Nazi occupation transform her life in the isolated castle where she came of age, she makes a discovery that calls into question who she is, and more importantly, who she is willing to become. Intricately woven and beautifully told, The Women of Chateau Lafayette is a sweeping novel about duty and hope, love and courage, and the strength we find from standing together on the shoulders of those who came before us"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Castles $x Fiction $x Fiction 650 $a Women $x Fiction $x Fiction 650 $a Generations $x Fiction 650 $a Courage $x Fiction 650 $a Epic fiction 650 $a Historical fiction 650 $a Novels 941 $a 15 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043038.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011206.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021700.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015724.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064103.0 952 $l HLPC845 $d 20220824010526.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728012639.0 952 $l XZPB787 $d 20220705010605.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20210907010035.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210803013448.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014045.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064406.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210602011550.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210602010316.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20210416012035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D051B809E7911EBAE5EC6A932ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
