Book Details

When Mae Fanning, a clever, headstrong girl from the wrong side of town, secures a job at a tiny, exclusive Boston antiques shop it is the fresh start she desperately needs. The shop opens a window to new world, one peopled with characters as rare and rich as the artefacts around her.

But the day that enigmatic socialite Diana van der Laar walks in, Mae’s hidden past returns. As a moth to a flame, Mae is unable to resist her world of heady, seductive glamour, power and dangerous lies. Yet, like the rare objects in the shop, very little is what it appears – Diana included.

From Jazz-Age New York to Boston in the grip of the Great Depression, Rare Objects is a rich and gripping story of what it means to reach for a braver, bolder life.
