TheÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ Mrs. Lincolnâ€™s Dressmaker Jennifer Chiaveriniâ€™s astute and lively novel of the politics of stateâ€”set against the backdrop of Civil War Era Washington
Â
Beautiful, intelligent, regal, and entrancing, young Kate Chase Sprague stepped into the role of establishing her thrice-widowed father, Salmon P. Chase, in Washington society as a Lincoln cabinet member and as a future presidential candidate. For her efforts, The Washington StarÂ declared her â€œthe most brilliant woman of her day. None outshone her.â€
None, that is, but Mary Todd Lincoln. Though Mrs. Lincoln and her young rival held much in commonâ€”political acumen, love of country, and a resolute determination to help the men they loved achieve greatnessâ€”they could never be friends, for the success of one could come only at the expense of the other.
