Review: You have to love a story that starts in the middle of a train robbery and at that moment the main characters are introduced to each other. You know from that point that this is going to be a good story and you need to hang on for the ride.
Jen Turano’s new book Storing Up Trouble takes place during the Gilded Age in Chicago where history is being made each day. Our heroine, Beatrix Waterbury, is a member of the New York 400 and trying to find purpose in her life. Norman Nesbit, our hero, is rather lost and needs direction. Adventure pursues them both, and together they navigate Chicago society with many great friends including Beatrix’s eccentric aunt, a knowledgeable butler, and Norman’s sidekick and friend,Theodosia. I found myself wanting to visit Beatrix’s aunt and stay for a while.
Jen Turano’s new book Storing up Trouble is filled with adventure, mystery, moments in the suffragette movement, endearing characters and funny moments that have you laughing out loud. I enjoyed reading Storing up Trouble and highly recommend it.
I was given a copy of the book by the publisher and not required to write a review.
