The season 4 premiere of The Gilded Age has hit our screens, bringing us all the fashion, sophistication and drama we can’t get enough of.
If you’re just as spellbound by Christine Baranski’s iconic performance as Agnes van Rhijn, on edge from Larry and Marian’s will-they-won’t-they romance, or as surprised by the random Matt Damon and David Letterman cameo as we are, then you’ve come to the right place for some Gilded Age-adjacent reading material.
We’re channeling the nouveau riche with this list of trendsetting reads that shake up society and refuse to lose your attention. These titles range from love letters to New York City and musings on art and music to high-stakes marriages, ill-advised love affairs and examinations of how the other half lives.
The book list for your personal perusing convenience:
Peregrine Hill by Nina de Gramont
The Colony Club by Shelley Noble
The Three Lives of Mary Sutton by Allyson Johnson
Minor Black Figures by Brandon Taylor
Peck & Peck by Bonnie Garmus
The Cursed Diamond by Anna Rasche
