THE GILDED EDGE Two Audacious Women and the Cyanide Love Triangle That Shook America

Narrator Rebecca Lowman brings listeners the true story of two women, Nora May French and Carrie Sterling, who become enmeshed in each other's lives until they both meet a tragic end. Lowman is a strong narrator who is up to the challenge of illuminating the complicated relationship between Nora and Carrie and Carrie's husband, George. The setting is Carmel, a center of the California Arts & Crafts Movement in the early 1900s. Lowman captures the headstrong personality and bohemian sensibilities of Nora, a minor poet. Lowman is also convincing as Carrie, a long-suffering wife who is searching for love. Toggling between these two ambitious, passionate women, Lowman draws listeners deeper and deeper into a love triangle that eventually comes to involve cyanide.
