The Golden Season : An Early American Romance Novel

Following the success of its prologue novel, The Twin Cousins, Oriana Atkinson?s next novel of the youthful 1800s and the Wares and Van Loos of Atta, New York is as mesmerizing as the first. The Golden Season picks up where the story of Twin Cousins ends. However, it does not wander from the key elements of feuding men and women whose love-lives mingle in the Catskills. These wildling generations cannot ignore the primal behaviors that the wilderness magnifies or that love demands in its sway for power and emotion. Oriana?s ?Romance of Early America? threads these passions and the history of a country just finding its legs. At the same time, these early Americans were plagued with a desire for more land, and a new home?a place where everything looks greener on some hill further west. This is the stewpot of The Golden Season.
