Glamor, glitter, love, shopping, and ?famous names thrown around...what fun it was reading WHAT THE LADY WANTS.

WHAT THE LADY WANTS is set in Chicago during the 1800's when retail stores and innovations were beginning to surface. Famous industrialists such as Pullman, McCormick, Potter, Swift, Field, and Armour filled the pages. Hearing these names brought out the historical fiction aficionado in me.

Along with the business side of Chicago?,? WHAT THE LADY WANTS tells? the story of the personal life of Delia Spencer, Arthur Caton, and Marshall Field revealing ?Delia and Marshall?'s ongoing, infamous ?love ?affair. You will want to look up th?eir ?names to find ?more ?information on them and on Marshall Field & Company.

Both Delia and Marshall were captivating characters, and Ms. Rosen perfectly portrayed their life and the lifestyles of the wealthy ?during that time.

?A little bit of romance along with the history of Chicago makes WHAT THE LADY WANTS an intriguing, alluring ?read.

?You will also find out where the book's title came from. ENJOY!!? 5/5

This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher in return for an honest review.?

It was a sad day in Chicago when Marshall Field became Macy's. He was a genius in many ways and Chicago owes him a great deal. A Wonderful read.

I found the story very interesting and insightful. I only wish it was more nonfiction, less fiction.

Our club found this especially interesting as we are located in the Chicago suburbs, and all of us shopped at Marshall Fields for many years. (Yes, we are that old.) Most of us really didn't know much about Field's personal story. We were glad, though, that the author made a point of saying which portions of the book were totally fiction.
