In The Golden Cup, the second in the Werner Family Saga, Belva Plain takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster as we learn how Paul Werner grew up and met Anna Friedman—the woman featured in Evergreen, the first book. It also features Henrietta De Rivera, called Hennie, Paul's aunt, who, although from an affluent family, is a proud champion of the poor immigrants flooding into New York. She marries Daniel Roth, a teacher, and activist for the common laborer and social justice. Together they live a simple life while raising their son, Freddy, until the world erupts into war. Then, Paul, Hennie, and Dan's lives are torn apart by uncertainty and infidelity. I found the characters interestingly complex and the plot authentic to the era.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The triumphant saga that began in Evergreen continues A woman of hidden desires, Hennie De Rivera has none of the wealth enjoyed by her relatives, the Werner banking dynasty. But tall, shy Hennie has grand dreams, especially of daring activist Dan Roth, who invites controversy by fighting for New York's poorest immigrants. Breaking society's rules might have devastating consequences for this passionate woman--and for her nephew Paul Werner, who weds his debutante fiancée while still yearning for his mother's beautiful maid, Anna Friedman. And amid heartbreaking discoveries and the gathering clouds of World War I, the stirring family saga begun in Evergreen continues with an unforgettable tale of forbidden passions, intimate secrets, and sweeping social change. . . .
