Description
"Cuando las sufragistas se manifestaban en las calles de Nueva York y los sindicalistas luchaban por unas condiciones de trabajo dignas, a las chicas descarriadas las encerraban en la Casa de la Misericordia. Cerca de la mansión familiar de Luella y Effie Tildon se cierne la Casa de la Misericordia, una institución para mujeres caídas en desgracia, mujeres consideradas indignas de vivir en sociedad. Bajo esa sombra amenazadora, las hermanas crecen sabiendo que, incluso para jóvenes acomodadas como ellas, la libertad tiene límites muy estrictos. Todo cambia cuando juntas descubren un secreto familiar escandaloso y Luella, la mayor y más atrevida, decide que ella tiene derecho a hacer lo que le plazca. El día que Luella desaparece misteriosamente, Effie sospecha que su padre ha cumplido la amenaza de ingresarla en la Casa de la Misericordia, así que elabora un plan para salvarla. Sin embargo, comete un error y nadie cree su historia. A partir de ese momento, el destino de Effie estará en manos de Mable, una enigmática compañera de encierro. De la incipiente amistad y la confianza entre ambas dependerán sus posibilidades de sobrevivir. Una historia de esperanza, coraje y sororidad, inspirada en la Casa de la Misericordia y las mujeres allí confinadas."--,Provided by Amazon.
Description
"The Girls with No Names pulls readers into the gilded age of New York City in the 1910s, when suffragettes marched in the street, unions fought for better work conditions--and girls were confined to the House of Mercy for daring to break the rules. Not far from Luella and Effie Tildon's large family mansion in Inwood looms the House of Mercy, a work house for wayward girls. The sisters grow up under its shadow with the understanding that even as wealthy young women, their freedoms come with limits. But when the sisters accidentally discover a shocking secret about their father, Luella, the brazen older sister, becomes emboldened to do as she pleases. But her rebellion comes with consequences, and one morning Luella is mysteriously gone. Effie suspects her father has made good on his threat to send Luella to the House of Mercy and hatches a plan to get herself committed to save her sister. But she made a miscalculation, and with no one to believe her story, Effie's escape from the House of Mercy seems impossible--unless she can trust an enigmatic girl named Mable. As their fates entwine, Mable and Effie must rely on each other and their tenuous friendship to survive"--,Provided by publisher.
