Those readers of this blog who are wondering what to read next now that Gossip Girl has run it's course might want to check out The Luxe by Anna Godbersten. On October 8, 1899, Elizabeth Holland's funeral was held on the day she was to have married well known playboy Henry Schoolmaker. Why does her best friend Penelope Hayes, who was with Elizabeth when she fell into the Hudson river, not look nearly upset enough to appease the town gossips? And why did her sister Diana run into the funeral late - SMILING? As the story jumps back to show us the last two weeks of Elizabeth's life, we find that New York's upper crust was just as full of scandal and intrigue in 1899 as Gossip Girl tells us it is today.
