“Peregrine Hill is my favorite kind of novel: stirring, beautifully told and utterly captivating with characters I’m still thinking about days later. I loved it.”—Clare Leslie Hall, New York Times bestselling author of Broken Country

"In Peregrine Hill, the velvet curtain of the Gilded Age lifts on a society governed by wealth, reputation, and quiet coercion—a world where power belongs to men and survival demands ingenuity. Bold, atmospheric, and impossible to put down, the novel is historical fiction with real teeth. At its heart lies a deeply felt story of mothers and daughters navigating love, ambition, and survival in a world that offers them precious few good choices."—Adrienne Brodeur, bestselling author of Little Monsters and Wild Game

"A luminous, entrancing novel about the extraordinary relationship between two women--one a young, wealthy matron imprisoned in her marriage; the other, a low-born maid. What unites this unlikely pair is a literary ambition that will either save them from the golden cage they exist in or doom them to servitude forever. The Gilded Age springs to vivid life in these pages, but beware, for not all that glitters is gold."—Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series

"Sentence by sentence, Peregrine Hill is one of the most beautiful books ever written. . . This brilliant book is precise and maternal and militant. It loves human behavior— good and bad—and sees right through to our big, broken and duplicitous hearts. A genuine triumph of a novel."—Rebecca Lee, author of Bobcat and The City Is a Rising Tide
