Dreams of Gold

Lewis Orde

4.9/5 (16073 ratings)

Description:Spanning 60 years and four generations, Dreams of Gold is a sweeping saga that transports the reader from the bleak streets of 1850 London to the glitter of New Orleans, through the horror of the American Civil War, and finally to an Atlanta struggling to recover from the conflict’s devastation. Orphaned at an early age, cousins Nathan and Leonora Solomon are raised by an uncle who regards them as little more than cheap labor for his clothing shop on Ludgate Hill. When they rebel, they are forced to flee, boarding a ship in Liverpool that carries them to New Orleans where they are befriended by the family of Gershon Lowensohn, a cotton factor as kindly as their uncle was uncaring. Nathan and Leonora take to their new city immediately. During the wild abandon of Mardi Gras, Nathan seconds a young Creole named Antoine Vanson in a duel. The friendship that forms between the two young men is strengthened when Antoine’s sister, Marie-Louise, captures Nathan’s heart. In turn, Leonora becomes involved with the dashing Antoine, and the cousins are caught up in an exhilarating world of romance and passion, a world tragically torn apart when yellow fever strikes the Crescent City. In the years that follow, Nathan and Leonora draw from one another the strength necessary to rebuild their shattered lives, only to face adversity once more when civil war erupts. Forced to leave New Orleans, they start over yet again, this time in Atlanta, growing as the city grows, creating a retail empire that will become an Atlanta landmark. Until the onset of the 20th Century, when a wave of populism and prejudice threatens all they hold dear.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
