Thanks so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for giving me access to this book. I found this book fascinating. The fictionalized story of a real life person who passed for white while getting her education at Vassar. I think that many of my library's patrons will find this story fascinating. High recommend from me.

Did not have time to read this book - still on my TBR. Thank you for the opportunity and my apologies for not getting to it.

Beautifully written and transporting
I enjoyed this book and would read others by this author.
loved the subject and the characters

I love historical fiction especially when there are truths to the story. I loved Anita's story so much 'The Gilded Years' propelled me to do outside research on the characters. I will admit that this cover doesn't do this book justice. I don't want to give anything away. This is definitely a book that you won't forget and bonus it's a page turner for sure. I'm anticipating Ms. Tanabe's next book.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Washington Square Press for the opportunity to read and review 'The Gilded Years'.
