Morrow, hardcover, March 2014
Genre: Historical
Fiction Setting: 20th century
Plot: Bellagrand is a sequel to Sons of Liberty (which is likely a better starting point for new readers than this book) and
written as a backstory to Simons’ bestselling trilogy, which begins with The
Bronze Horseman. In Sons of Liberty,
blueblood and Harvard educated Harry Barrington met a beautiful Italian
immigrant, Gina Attaviano. They eloped
prior to Bellagrand and, disowned by his wealthy Brahmin family and unable to
hold a job, Harry continues and escalates his involvement in radical politics
while Gina takes on the most menial jobs to support him and her infirm
mother.
