Meg Davenport has spent most of her life at an exclusive boarding school in Connecticut far from the father she wishes would acknowledge her. She has every worldly comfort a girl could want and her learning has been superior. What she truly wants, however, is a relationship with her father. When word of his death reaches Meg she is both devastated and indifferent. She goes to the funeral with hopes of learning more about the father she never knew.
In New York she learns that her father's profession was that of a thief, a very successful thief. Ian Maguire, Meg's father's protege, would like to keep Meg away from her father's profession but he can't deny that her connections are worthy of note. Realizing he can't stop Meg's entry into thieving he decides to make sure she doesn't come to harm.
What follows is an intricate story that will keep you intrigued and interested. Lang is an excellent historian and I always appreciate reading her meticulous research. The gilded age is well explained in this novel as you would expect from Lang. The characters and developed but not particularly likeable. I found myself getting very bogged down with the story about a third of the way through, I was glad I kept pressing on for it is indeed a good read. While you may not be able to relate to the story line you will surely be able to relate to the character's angst and victories.
I received this book free from Tyndale House Publishers. I was not required to write a positive review.
