A Certain Age
A Certain Age: A Novel | Beatriz Williams
The bestselling author of A Hundred Summers brings the Roaring Twenties brilliantly to life in this enchanting and compulsively readable tale of intrigue, romance, and scandal in New York Society, brimming with lush atmosphere, striking characters, and irresistible charm. As the freedom of the Jazz Age transforms New York City, the iridescent Mrs. Theresa Marshall of Fifth Avenue and Southampton, Long Island, has done the unthinkable: shes fallen in love with her young paramour, Captain Octavian Rofrano, a handsome aviator and hero of the Great War. An intense and deeply honorable man, Octavian is devoted to the beautiful socialite of a certain age and wants to marry her. While times are changing and she does adore the Boy, divorce for a woman of Theresas wealth and social standing is out of the question, and there is no need; she has an understanding with Sylvo, her generous and well-respected philanderer husband. But their relationship subtly shifts when her bachelor brother, Ox, decides to tie the knot with the sweet younger daughter of a newly wealthy inventor. Engaging a longstanding family tradition, Theresa enlists the Boy to act as her brothers cavalier, presenting the familys diamond rose ring to Oxs intended, Miss Sophie Fortescueand to check into the background of the little-known Fortescue family. When Octavian meets Sophie, he falls under the spell of the pretty ingnue, even as he uncovers a shocking family secret. As the love triangle of Theresa, Octavian, and Sophie progresses, it transforms into a saga of divided loyalties, dangerous revelations, and surprising twists that will lead to a shocking transgression . . . and eventually force Theresa to make a bittersweet choice. Full of the glamour, wit and delicious twists that are the hallmarks of Beatriz Williams fiction and alternating between Sophies spirited voice and Theresas vibrant timbre, A Certain Age is a beguiling reinterpretation of Richard Strausss comic opera Der Rosenkavalier, set against the sweeping decadence of Gatsbys New York.

Have you read this book? And look at that gorgeous cover.

Begins with an excerpt from a murder trial then moved to alternating chapters and told of the life of high society and how they adapted social protocol to whatever they wanted.

Beautifully written as all of Ms. Williams‘ books even though it took me a while to get connected.

Patterned after an opera titled Der Rosenkavalie.

A CERTAIN AGE began with an excerpt from a murder trial then moved to alternating chapters and told of the life of high society and how they adapted social protocol to whatever they wanted.

Beautifully written as all of Ms. Williams‘ books even though it took me a while to get connected, but it was still enjoyable.

1-24-22: My 9th finished book of 2022! I wanted to love this one because I really like this author but it fell flat for me. Mrs. Theresa Marshall, helps her brother propose to a sweet 19 year old,Sophie, using a “cavalier” named Octavian (who happens to be Theresa‘s lover) as his proxy. Upon meeting Sophie, Octavian, falls for her. Theresa decides to investigate Sophie and this is where a murder mystery from 16 years ago comes to light. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a slow read for me. I couldn‘t get excited about any of the characters - they all seemed so distant and disconnected. It did pick up a little in the last quarter of the book but still the characters were just not exciting or filled out in my opinion.

A Certain Age is so beautiful and was my first Beatriz book. I had her sign it!!

I LOVE the cover of Daisy! Totally reminds me of Stevie Nicks at that age. I felt like the book was based on her and Fleetwood Mac 🤷🏼‍♀️ If I‘m being totally honest, I wanted to really, really love it, but I just love it. Evelyn spoiled me!! 💚💚💚

The cover to Nina drew me in because it‘s yellow 💛💛 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yellow is one of my two favorite colors 💛💜. I totally LOVE this book!! I gifted mine and I usually don‘t reread books, but I‘ll probably read this one again!! Everyone should read it! 4y

If you like well-crafted verbiage, believable characters, and especially if you‘re a fan of the prohibition-era 1920‘s, then you‘ll love this book, as Williams is certainly a talented author.

I adored this book. I feel like I always say that after reading a Beatriz Williams book. 😉 It is a book about new money vs old money in 1920s New York. It involves a love story and a murder. I loved Sophie and her determination. I honestly did not want this book to end because I wanted more of her story.

Not to often do I find something that hits me right where it hurts. The longing and needed of books as a small child has transformed into my need for a personal library as an adult. This character is just in awe of the books that surround her in her fiancée house I would be too if I was presented into a room like that.

This is my second book by Beatriz Williams, and I believe I will go on to read more of her work. While I did not like this one as well as Summer Wives, I did enjoy the story and watching the mystery unfold. At times I found the character of Theresa Marshall a little too campy, but it did not distract too much. What I really like about this author is that she is a good writer. The words flow and are pleasing, and she uses elevated vocabulary.

Well, I don‘t even know where to begin. I‘m not sure this one did much for me. The font used in the journalistic sections was very difficult for me to read. The device of skipping back and forth in time felt forced. All of this left me feeling very distracted. That said, I enjoyed immensely the descriptions of the architecture and fashion in the time period. And I always like an author who breaks the fourth wall. I‘ll try again.

SledgeReader Oy. I keep thinking I should have connected better with this one. 😢 7y
