New York in 1922 was a grand illusion.Henry Ashcroft stood on the sidewalk and watched a woman in a fringe dress laugh as she stepped over a puddle of gasoline and rainwater mixed into something iridescent. She was twenty-two, maybe twenty-three, with short hair and red lips and a dress that cost more than Henry made in a week. She did not look at him. Nobody looked at him. He was twenty-eight years old and he had the kind of face...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 11 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Champagne IllusionThe ice in the glass cracked as Roo dropped the third cube in, and the sound was louder than it should have been in the empty bar. Clara Whitfield watched him from behind her own glass, tracing the condensation on the crystal with one manicured finger that still, after six months, knew exactly how to hold a champagne coupe without looking like she was trying to remember how. "Another round?"...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 8 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Golden IllusionACT ONE: THE GOLDEN DOOR The jazz band played something that sounded like happiness being sold at a discount. I stood at the entrance of the Golden Cage, clutching my false invitation card and trying to look like I belonged among the silk and champagne. The year was 1925, and New York was a city that had discovered how to dance on the edge of a cliff and call it living. My name is Rebecca...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 16 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Golden IllusionThe party was on Long Island, which is to say it was in a house that cost more than my father earned in a lifetime, surrounded by people who had never worked a day in their lives and were very proud of it. Champagne flowed like water in a drought, and the jazz band played songs that sounded like happiness if you did not listen too closely to the minor keys underneath. I was twenty-four, Harvard...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 22 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Great IllusionThe art world of New York is a shimmering, predatory sea where the only thing more valuable than talent is the perception of it. Sophie was a "collector"—which was a polite way of saying she had a vast amount of inherited money and a desperate need to feel something profound. She spent her weekends in the sterile white cubes of Chelsea, searching for a piece of art that could fill the echoing...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 26 Views 0 voorbeeld

THE GOLDEN FARCETHE GOLDEN FARCETHE GOLDEN FARCEI The house on Harrow Lane had always smelled of beeswax and something older, something that refused to be named. Margaret Vane moved through its rooms like a ghost in her own life, touching the spines of books she would never read, running her fingers along the mantelpiece where her husband\'s photograph had once rested before she asked him to remove it. He had not understood the request....0 Reacties 0 aandelen 2 Views 0 voorbeeld
