La invitación

Paris, 1899. Emma Lacasse has been separated from her older sister for almost twenty years, as Caroline married a wealthy American and left France. So when Emma receives Caroline's request to meet her, this intrigues her. Caroline invites Emma to visit her in New York on one condition: Emma must tutor her shy niece, Isadora, and help her prepare for her debut in society. Caroline lives a life of unimaginable excess and opulence like all the millionaires of New York's golden age, and Emma will soon find herself immersed in a world of luxury beyond her wildest dreams, far removed from her bohemian lifestyle as a harpist. and a writer with her lover, Claude, in Montmartre. Emma hopes her encounter with her only family will be emotional, but instead, she encounters the vices of her charismatic and manipulative sister, who revels in the machinations of the ultra-rich. When Emma begins to question her sister's true motives, disaster strikes and New York society is exposed: Beneath the gleaming exterior lies a nest of deception, betrayal, moral corruption... and perhaps even of murder.
