The Trade Off
批評家のレビュー
“Bea Abramovitz is my kind of heroine: undaunted, full of grit, and savvy, with the temerity to stare down a barrier and then work her hardest until she’s found a way to break through it. Told with meticulous insight and the colorful language of the city streets, this is a thoughtful and eerily relevant examination of what it means to be a woman with big and bold yearnings.”—Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Margaret Fuller
“Readers of Beatriz Williams and Fiona Davis will devour this original and inspiring story of female empowerment, vividly set against the looming shadow of the Great Depression.”—Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Sapphire
“The Trade Off possesses all the literary goodies that historical-fiction lovers will devour: rags to riches, love, loss, redemption, and my personal fave—girl power, during a time when women had none. Readers will fall deeply in love with the fiery, brilliant Bea, a young immigrant who believes in her own abilities against all odds. Woodruff takes us on a journey rich with history, female empowerment, and page-turning prose. A powerhouse of a novel, The Trade Off is blue chip all the way.”—Lisa Barr, New York Times bestselling author of Woman On Fire
あらすじ・解説
A brilliant and ambitious young woman strives to find her place amid the promise and tumult of 1920s Wall Street in a captivating historical novel by the author of The Lobotomist’s Wife.
Bea Abramovitz has a gift for math and numbers. With her father, she studies the burgeoning Wall Street market’s stocks and patterns in the financial pages. After college she’s determined to parlay her talent for the prediction game into personal and professional success. But in the 1920s, in a Lower East Side tenement, opportunities for women don’t just come knocking. Bea will have to create them.
It’s easier for her golden-boy twin brother, Jake, who longs to reclaim all their parents lost after fleeing the pogroms in Russia to come to America. Well intentioned but undisciplined, Jake has a charm that can carry him only so far on Wall Street. So Bea devises a plan. They’ll be a secret team, and she’ll be the brains behind the broker. As Jake’s reputation, his heedless ego, and the family fortune soar, Bea foresees catastrophe: an impending crash that could destroy everything if she doesn’t finally take control.
Inspired by the true story of a pioneering investment legend, The Trade Off is a powerful novel about identity, sacrifice, family loyalties, and the complex morality of money.
