In Maria Thompson Daviess's novel 'Blue-grass and Broadway', readers are transported to the bustling world of New York City's Broadway theater scene, where they meet the charming protagonist Rosabel Morrison. The book is a delightful combination of Daviess's signature Southern charm and wit, as well as her keen observations of the cultural differences between life in the Bluegrass State and the fast-paced atmosphere of Broadway. Through Rosabel's journey of navigating the complexities of love and ambition in the Big Apple, Daviess captures the essence of the early 20th century American society with her engaging narrative style and vivid character portrayals. 'Blue-grass and Broadway' offers readers a unique glimpse into the era's social norms and values, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction set in the early 1900s. Maria Thompson Daviess, a Kentucky native known for her humorous and heartwarming tales, drew inspiration from her own experiences of adapting to urban life when she moved to New York City. Her intimate knowledge of both Southern traditions and urban lifestyles shines through in this novel, making it a captivating and immersive read. I highly recommend 'Blue-grass and Broadway' to readers who enjoy a blend of romance, comedy, and cultural commentary in a historical setting.
