Set in the 1870s, the same period as Wharton's The Age of
Innocence, The Buccaneers is about five wealthy American girls
denied entry into New York Society because their parents' money is
too new. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls
sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find
their beauty charming--and their wealth extremely useful.
After Wharton's death in 1937, The Christian Science Monitor
said, "If it could have been completed, The Buccaneers would
doubtless stand among the richest and most sophisticated of
Wharton's novels." Now, with wit and imagination, Marion Mainwaring
has finished the story, taking her cue from Wharton's own synopsis.
It is a novel any Wharton fan will celebrate and any romantic
reader will love. This is the richly engaging story of Nan St.
George and guy Thwarte, an American heiress and an English
aristocrat, whose love breaks the rules of both their
societies.
