REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

Greta Goldbaum is the adventurous, before-her-time daughter growing up in the wealthy Jewish Goldbaum family, a powerful group with family all over Europe. While she craves excitement and adventure, and staying close to her best friend and brother, her family wants her to wed a distant cousin Albert in England. She weds Albert just as World War I starts and her Albert is forced to fight with the Allies while her brother is stationed on front lines in Russia.

In this family saga centered around Greta, it’s amazing to see the transformation and challenges she faces. From somewhat frivolous to outstanding character, Greta’s strength is astonishing and how the family evolves during a volatile era. Any lover of history and fiction will love House of Gold.
