I really enjoyed this second book in a series that is set in Seattle in the 1920's, following the lives of two young women. Allison, a teenager who is nearing adulthood, is struggling with gaining some measure of independence from her controlling parents, who send her to Seattle to stay with cousins, aunt, and uncle there. Margo Benedict is a physician who is just beginning to establish her practice in Seattle, and hoping to continue a relationship with a young man who was severely wounded in the Great War. Margo and her family welcome Allison to stay with them, but there are many issues in this family as well. Margo became a favorite character, as she battled many of the prejudices against women, championing the suffrage movement, and access to birth control for all women, setting up her clinic in a neighborhood that would help her to serve Seattle's poorest. I plan to go back and read the first book in this series. I would give this one 3 and a half stars. This was a First Reads win for me, from Goodreads. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:In Cate Campbell's sumptuously detailed, page-turning series set in 1920s Seattle, the once-secure lifestyle of the wealthy Benedict family--and their household staff--must contend with the radical, roaring Jazz Age. . . For generations, the Benedicts have been one of Seattle's most distinguished families, residing in the splendid Queen Anne mansion known as Benedict Hall amid a host of loyal servants. But the dawn of the 1920s and the aftermath of the Great War have brought dramatic social conflict. Never has this been more apparent than when daughter Margot's thoroughly modern young cousin, Allison, comes to stay. But Margot is also shocking many of Seattle's genteel citizens, and her engineer beau, by advocating birth control in her medical practice. For amid a tangle of blackmail, manipulation, and old enmities, the Benedicts stand to lose more than money--they may forfeit the very position and reputation that is their only tether to a rapidly changing world. Praise For Benedict Hall "Entertaining, with a well-drawn backdrop." --RT Book Reviews "Recommended for fans of Downton Abbey, this story is full of drama and is plenty enjoyable, especially because of the time period...great characters with warm chemistry the reader will want to see together." --Parkersburg News & Sentinel.
