Set in 1913, this was a really interesting look at the construction the fantastic North Carolina, Grove Park Inn, dubbed the Eighth wonder of the world. I enjoyed how the author focused on the stories of the men and women who helped build the Inn and not just the wealthy elite who funded it. I knew nothing about this place that competed with tuberculosis sanatoriums in the surrounding town as that disease was running rampant at the time. Featuring a strong woman, trying to find her place in the world, a complicated arranged marriage love story and great on audio narrated by one of my favs, Brittany Pressley. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review. I went into this blindly and was pleasantly surprised!
