Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
Less than a month into 1953, Esther Blake's father Samuel Blake dies unexpectedly. Essie is now alone in the world, save for her vapid stepmother, Evelyn, and her bookish, mostly absent step-brother, Harvey. Soon to inherit her share of Samuel's substantial fortune, Essie's not quite sure what that future will look like, aside from the important things (tea and Hemmingway).
Raymond Carter, the epitome of a suave mid-century bachelor, will play a big part in whatever does await Essie, of that she's certain. She suspects the feeling is mutual... Why else would he turn up uninvited to her father's funeral? And what shocking news does the Blake family lawyer have for Samuel's widow and daughter?
Tobacco and Pine takes Essie out of Manhattan, in too deep with secrets and betrayal, and further than she ever thought she'd be able to go on her own.
