I thoroughly enjoyed this historical fiction novel inspired by a true story! The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander takes us back to the 1920s and 1940s, exploring the intersection of race and class at the heart of a “scandalous” interracial marriage and its subsequent, highly public and painful divorce. It’s a powerful tale of love, wealth, and shattered hearts.
