Synopsis
Med school dropout Lena is desperate for a job to help her parents who are approaching bankruptcy. When she is offered a position working for one of Boston's most elite families, the Verdeaus, she knows she must accept it - no matter how bizarre the interview. Working overtime, Lena discovers the more sinister side of the family as she attends their lavish parties. But when she learns the patriarch is the one responsible for the ruin of her own family, Lena vows to get revenge - a poisonous quest that leads her further into this hedonistic world than she ever bargained for., From debut author Kit Mayquist, a propulsive and atmospheric modern Gothic with all the splendor of The Great Gatsby . . . and all the secrets, lies, and darkness that opulence can hide. Med school dropout Lena is desperate for a job, any job, to help her parents, who are approaching bankruptcy after her father was injured and laid off nearly simultaneously. So when she is offered a position, against all odds, working for one of Boston's most elite families, the illustrious and secretive Verdeaus, she knows she must accept it--no matter how bizarre the interview or how vague the job description. By day, she is assistant to the family doctor and his charge, Jonathan, the sickly, poetic, drunken heir to the family empire, who is as difficult as his illness is mysterious. By night, Lena discovers the more sinister side of the family, as she works overtime at their lavish parties, helping to hide their self-destructive tendencies . . . and trying not to fall for Jonathan's alluring sister, Audrey. But when she stumbles upon the knowledge that the Verdeau patriarch is the one responsible for the ruin of her own family, Lena vows to get revenge--a poison-filled quest that leads her further into this hedonistic world than she ever bargained for, forcing her to decide how much--and who--she's willing to sacrifice for payback. The perfect next read for fans of Mexican Gothic , Tripping Arcadia is a page-turning and shocking tale with an unforgettable protagonist that explores family legacy and inheritance, the sacrifices we must make to get by in today's world, and the intoxicating, dangerous power of wealth.
