Thank you so much NetGalley and Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishin, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles for providing me with an ARC.
This is the first novel to me by Camille Di Maio.
I don't know how to describe it because i have multiple opinions about the novel. I loved that the author taken it from real events but it's little slow, i wish that it little faster. The characters names made me confused because all of them named Emma and i don't why she not changed them.
I loved Emma Koehler character and the way she stared over to stand up again.
Erik and Mabel characters are so light and funny for me and i loved the happy ending to them.
OMG, OMG,The Cover is so amazing, delight and wonderful. I loved so much especially the dress that the model is wearing , It's Stan and I adore this kind of fabric.
Book description:
Inspired by true events
1914 - Young bride Emma Koehler dreams of a happy marriage and a simple life with her husband, but her hopes are quickly dashed by Otto’s obsession with his business. Though they become one of the wealthiest couples in the country – a fortune made on beer, mining, and hospitality - Emma is lonely in their stone mansion, unable to have children and unable to keep his attentions at home. When a tragic accident changes everything, Otto presents a new betrayal – and Emma must choose between loyalty and independence in a world that demands convention.
1943 – Mabel Hartley flees Baltimore after the war leaves her broken and alone. She answers the advertisement of a dying woman in San Antonio, with an urgent plea to come write her memoirs. In Emma Koehler, Mabel discovers astounding resilience - a pioneer who weathered personal devastation and navigated her large brewery through the storm of Prohibition. Soon Mabel realizes that Texas holds more for her than this new friendship. Romance blooms even as she’s given up on love, and an unexpected phone call gives her hope that not all goodbyes are final.
The First Emma is a moving story of love, hope, and murder that captures one woman’s journey to make her mark on history and another’s desire to preserve it.
