REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:
Don’t let the ugly cover scare you off – Decorum is a fascinating and culturally fascinating novel. Based in 1890s New York, Decorum, as the name implies, stories the scandalous inner workings of high society during the time through wealthy, independent Francesca Lund. Nearly alone and heartbroken from losing her family – now Francesca is engaged. As she struggles to understand her fiance and navigates New York society, her independence emerges. First-time author Kaaren Christopherson portrays the struggles of smart, independent Francesca in a changing society. If Downton Abbey had a US version, Decorum would be it – with it’s evolving society and merging of classes and subtle love story.
