Publisher's Summary:
Set against the vibrant and colorful backdrop of 1920s Seattle, Cate Campbell's latest Benedict Hall novel brings the tumultuous, changing world of a privileged family to vivid life....
Though born into one of Seattle's most prestigious families, Margot Benedict has fought to claim all the independence offered to young women in 1923. Where her brother Preston embraced a life of debauchery, Margot has a thriving medical practice. Working at a local orphanage, she's shocked to see a young boy who looks every inch a Benedict. But though she's convinced this is the illegitimate child Preston once mentioned, Margot has no way to prove any family connection.
At 16, Bronwyn Morgan fell in love with dashing Preston Benedict. Seduced and abandoned, she's arrived at Benedict Hall determined to find the son she was forced to give away. Aging matriarch Edith takes the fragile girl under her wing, but Edith's own delicate state and Preston's dangerous animosity collide, jeopardizing not only a child's future, but the Benedict legacy itself.
Critic Reviews:
"Recommended for fans of Downton Abbey." (Parkersburg News & Sentinel)
Members Reviews:
The contemporaneous details of life and social issues faced in 1923 are an added delight and point of discussion
As I have come to expect, Cate Campbell had me in the grip of the story from the onset. Even more than usual, however, she had me anticipating a turn of events which suddenly went in a different direction than I expected. The characters introduced in the first 2 novels of the trilogy remain vivid and continue their authentic growth, and new characters are just as vividly portrayed: I can always clearly visualize Campbell's people. The contemporaneous details of life and social issues faced in 1923 are an added delight and point of discussion. I highly recommend the entire Benedict Hall trilogy.
Life in Seattle in the 1920s
The Benedict Hall novels are set in post WW1 Seattle. "Benedict Hall," the first in this series of novels, was published shortly after I moved to the Seattle area. I purchased it to help get a "feel" for the history of my new home. This is the third in the series and I have read them all. I got an excellent feel for Seattle, but also for the cultural milieu that was the US in the 1920s. Characters are well-developed and a reader (at least this one) comes to know and respect them (or not, as the author desires). I highly recommend this entire series.
Five Stars
I love this entire series. Easy fast read. I think I like The Benedict Bastard the best.
wonderful books
Loved all three books, wish there were more of them,so disappointed when they ended.Maybe Cate will write some more books.
Enjoyed this series
All three of the books in this series kept me interested from cover to cover. I easily related to the characters and the era. Really needed the review of history and geography, and hang on every word from the author.
