Love and Loss Across a World of Class and War
Flapper Fanny narrates a 30 year saga of Mary, a servant girl who bears a child with a young Englishman, their failed union, and the child Pablo’s tragic Cuban ascent from abuse to a hopeful new life with Norris Noyes in Key West. The tale intertwines colonial class, migration, and a rescue in a stormy era.
