Women's Fiction Time Slip
2019: Andie Figuero has just landed her dream job as a
producer of Mansion Makeover, a popular reality show about
restoring America’s most lavish historic houses. Andie
has high hopes for her latest project: the once glorious but
gently crumbling Sprague Hall in Newport, Rhode Island,
summer resort of America’s gilded class—famous
for the lavish “summer cottages” of Vanderbilts
and Belmonts. But Andie runs into trouble: the reclusive
heiress who still lives in the mansion, Lucia
“Lucky” Sprague, will only allow the show to go
forward on two conditions: One, nobody speaks to her. Two,
nobody touches the mansion’s ruined boathouse.
1899: Ellen Daniels has been hired to give singing
lessons to Miss Maybelle Sprague, a naive young Colorado
mining heiress whose stepbrother John has poured their new
money into buying a place among Newport’s elite. John
is determined to see Maybelle married off to a fortune-
hunting Italian prince, and Ellen is supposed to polish up
the girl for her launch into society. But the deceptively
demure Ellen has her own checkered past, and she’s
hiding in plain sight at Sprague Hall.
1958: Lucia “Lucky” Sprague has always felt
like an outsider at Sprague Hall. When she and her
grandmother—the American-born Princess di
Conti—fled Mussolini’s Italy, it seemed natural
to go back to the imposing Newport house Nana owned but
hadn’t seen since her marriage in 1899. Over the
years, Lucky's lost her Italian accent and found a place for
herself among the yachting set by marrying Stuyvesant
Sprague, the alcoholic scion of her Sprague stepfamily. But
one fateful night in the mansion’s old boathouse will
uncover a devastating truth...and change everything she
thought she knew about her past.
As the cameras roll on Mansion Makeover, the house begins
to yield up the dark secrets the Spragues thought would stay
hidden forever….
