A young women travels to Chicago to see the World Fair (1893), and to try and find her mother. She stays with her Grandma and two of her great-aunts. Her third great aunt who is very rich tells her that she was really sent here by her father to find a husband. She meets four dashing young man, each supported by one of her relatives. ( Her great aunt Matt is a feminist and doesn't want her to marry.) As her six weeks in Chicago wend away, she learns a lot about herself, her mother, and her four suitors.
Rating: 9/10: Interesting ending ( in both ways). Very interesting characters, not what you would expect the characters to be like in this time period. Some very real-life experiences that are very well written. Some courageous heroes.
