This was a wonderful book that I absolutely couldn't put down. I live in Pittsburgh and have been to all of the sites discussed in the book but, more importantly, the author wrote a seamless story intertwining history and fiction to tell the story of a fascinating man who gave so much to the world. I am now inspired to read even more about Andrew Carnegie and the history of steel making in our country and in Pittsburgh specifically.I am an avid reader of historical fiction and believe that I have learned a great deal from reading books like Carnegie's Maid and highly recommend it to others who like a little fiction mixed into well researched history.
Perhaps a very Pittsburgh book, too -- right down to foregoing love in favor of duty, and love transmuting into ideals.When I was a child in Pittsburgh, the main Carnegie Library was a temple to learning -- no expense spared in its majestic construction and every book cherished, no matter how obscure. I used to make the series of trolley journeys from my suburban home to the university district to visit it every other weekend, just because it amazed me that I was welcome in such a palatial and scholarly environment -- everyone was. It was its sheer magnificence that began my fasciation with Andrew Carnegie. I also adored Pittsburgh -- a very complex place, for those of you who don't know it.So of course I wanted to read this book, and that side of me was gratified to come away with a better understanding of the young Carnegie and Pittsburgh in the time of the Civil War -- with an intriguing description of New York in the same time period thrown in.This book is not a literary masterpiece, but it is competently written from the POV of a ladies' maid -- a narrow view of the world, but one which serves the purposes of the book very nicely. The characters took on reality for me, and the small domestic view of some of the great robber-baron moves of the day, and of the building of the country's infrastructure, was engrossing. So was the description of the living conditions of laboring-class immigrants and Irish tenant farmers during the time of the great potato famine, which came to vivid life. And the story arc was quite satisfying -- and the farthest thing imaginable from predictable. I'll be re-reading this book in future.
The whole book seems contrived to show that a (fictional) young woman made Carnegie a great philanthropist, although he'd already decided to be one at a young age. It's also a bit boring.I realize that being a servant in the 19th century was miserable work, but how many times must we read that Clara brushes Mrs. Carnegie's hair 200 strokes at night and rubs in rosewater lotion and buffs her nails? Darns her silk stockings? A servant's work was certainly repetitious, but the writing doesn't need to be. I felt as though the author just copy-pasted those passages in as filler.Similarly, all the details that Clara instantly grasped about the insider trading and M&A activity among robber barons was too technical for my entertainment. One of Clara's big victories in the books is when she suggests to Carnegie that he sue for patent violation. A modern female lawyer (such as the author) might think of that. There's no way a simple Irish girl would have heard of it - I don't care how many poetry books her father somehow found for her to read. That's the lawyer talking, not the Irish maid.I did leave wanting to read a good, non-fictional bio of Carnegie. His life story must be fascinating. Why did he live with his mother until his 50s and only marry after her death? Very Freudian!P.S. For Downton Abbey fans (every review seems to mention DA), please remember that DA begins when the Titanic sinks in 1912. Carnegie was already elderly when the Titanic sank. This is about a very different era.
This is a nice story about how Andrew Carnegie changed from a “cut throat†businessman building his fortune, to one of the greatest philanthropists in history. It’s an interesting story that moves quickly. I enjoyed it.
Too much romance for my taste, but the historical portion was pretty good!! I couldn’t put it down. Without all the romance, I would’ve given it a 5 star. Andrew Carnegie was a complex individual with his business acumen, philanthropy, and (very interestingly) his late in life marriage to a very young bride. The description of Pittsburg was quite fascinating.
