“All My Secrets” by Lynn Austin, looks like a historical showdown between generations! On the cover, we have two women, one in regal blue and the other in a stately orange-brown, standing back-to-back like they’re about to duke it out over some Gilded Age gossip. It’s like a 19th-century soap opera, where everyone’s got a secret and the corsets are laced with intrigue. I can almost hear the whispered “Oy vey!” from the elder lady, and the younger one seems ready to spill the tea, or in this case, the afternoon sherry.

JABBIC Rating: ★★★★☆

Summary: “All My Secrets” by Lynn Austin promises a Gilded Age drama full of secrets and generational clashes, perfectly depicted by its captivating cover.
