The story is set in New York City during the Gilded Age and follows the lives of two wealthy families, the Vane family and the Montagues, as they navigate the social and political landscape of the time. The novel explores themes of wealth, power, and social status, as well as the corrupting influence of money on individuals and society as a whole. The main characters include the ambitious and ruthless businessman, Augustus Van Cortlandt Vane, and his daughter, the beautiful and cunning Rosalie Vane, as well as the Montague family, who are struggling to maintain their position in society. As the story unfolds, the characters become embroiled in various scandals and power struggles, including political corruption and financial fraud. The novel also touches on issues of race and class, as the characters interact with people from different backgrounds and social classes. Overall, Trumps: A Novel offers a vivid portrayal of the social and political landscape of New York City during the Gilded Age, and provides a thought-provoking commentary on the corrupting influence of wealth and power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
