Society rules in this wonderful book by Anna Godbersen. Set in the late 1800's the Holland sisters, Diana and Elizabeth, socialites of New York find the society not to their liking. Diana is in love with Elizabeth's fiance and Elizabeth is in love with a servant. Plot twists in this story make it a page turner. It's been called "The New Gossip Girl".
