I just finished reading House of Gold by Natasha Solomons, and whewww it is an emotional rollercoaster.

I love historical fiction, so I had to get this when I saw it was on sale at an independent bookstore. It’s a fictionalization of the Rothschild family in the years leading up to/during World War 1 and focuses mainly on a female protagonist who moves to England for her arranged marriage. The Rothschilds are a prominent Jewish banking family that became successful in the 1800s in Europe with different branches of the family in different countries. The novel explores how war ruins the strength of the multinational family.

It’s chef’s kiss.
