Review: House of Gold

House of Gold by Natasha Solomons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A memorable historical fiction novel set at the dawn of the Great War (WWI), the Goldbaum family is clearly inspired by the Rothschild family, the most famous Jewish famly in Europe, whose fortune was considered to be the greatest private fortune in the world during the 19th Century. A family saga that focuses on the challenges of being Jewish, even if wealthy, in this era, House of Gold allows the readers to see the Goldbaums as a powerful family whose wealth was their shield against the antisemitism that was pervasive in Europe well before WWII.

I received a digital review copy of this book from Net Galley and First to Read, along with a paper copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
