June 2023 Book Club: The Davenports by Krystal Marquis

The Book

The Davenports released on January 31, 2023.

Why did we pick this book?

We were in the mood for a historical romance and learned about this book. It’s the first in a series and promises to be swoonworthy. What really intrigued us were the four main characters. From the book decription, it seems like they all have very different personalities and interests.

Also, the book is set in 1910, which isn’t a typical time for historic books. If you’d like to join us, book club is on June 25, 2023. Email imallbookedupya@gmail.com for the link.

What is this book about?

Set in 1910, The Davenports is a historical romance that follows a wealthy Black family. William Davenport made his fortune by founding the Davenport Carriage Company. The Story follows his two daughters Olivia and Helen and their friends Amy-Rose and Ruby.

Marquis noted in the description that book is based on the life of C.R. Patterson and his family.
