Great Minds, the Gilded Age, and the Triumph of Evolution in America
by Barry WerthIf you liked Banquet at Delmonico's, try these:
The Greater Journey is the enthralling, inspiring - and until now, untold - story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, architects, and others of high aspiration who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, ambitious to excel in their work.
From the two-time Booker Prizewinning author comes an irrepressibly funny new novel set in early nineteenth-century America.
