The fascinating biography of an unusual 54-year marriage in the Gilded Age examines the dynamic flow of power, control, and love between Washington blue blood Violet Blair and New Orleans attorney Albert Janin. Drawing on abundant documentary evidence, author Virginia Laas ties this compelling story to broader themes of courtship behavior, domesticity, gender roles, extended family bonds, elitism, and societal stereotyping.
