Contributor(s):Author: Natasha Solomons From the New York Times bestselling author of The House at Tyneford, an epic family saga about a headstrong Austrian heiress who will be forced to choose between the family she's made and the family that made her at the outbreak of World War I. Vienna, 1911. Greta Goldbaum has always dreamed of being free to choose her own life's path, but the Goldbaum family, one of the wealthiest in the world, has different expectations. United across Europe, Goldbaum men are bankers, while Goldbaum women marry Goldbaum men to produce Goldbaum children. Jewish and perpetual outsiders, they know that though power lies in wealth, strength lies in family. So Greta moves to England to wed Albert, a distant cousin. Defiant and lonely, she longs for connection and a place to call her own. When Albert's mother gives Greta a garden, things begin to change. Perhaps she and Albert will find a way to each other. But just as she begins to taste an unexpected happiness, war is looming and even the influential Goldaums can't alter its course. For the first time in two hundred years, the family will find themselves on opposing sides and Greta will have to choose: the family she's created or the one she was forced to leave behind. A sweeping family saga from a beloved and New York Times bestselling author, House of Gold is Natasha Solomons's most dazzling and moving novel yet.  Review citations Booklist - pg. 39 - 08/01/2018Kirkus Reviews - 08/15/2018Library Journal / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 57 - 09/01/2018Library Journal / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 57 - 09/01/2018Library Journal / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 57 - 09/01/2018Library Journal / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 57 - 09/01/2018Library Journal / Highly Recommended - pg. 57 - 09/01/2018Publishers Weekly - 09/03/2018
