I enjoy historical fiction, and this is among the best I've read. A long, languish, character driven novel, set in Europe up to and including the first world war. The story centres on a massively wealthy finance family of Jews, spread across Europe, and can only be based on none other than the Rothschilds.Long drawn in places, too many details in other places, and loose ends are my only complaints.
Historical Heaven,for any one who enjoys complex characters with individuality.Knowledge of gardening and finance of the era was fascinating!Would recommend to all as a great read.
Interesting
Good historical fiction about the Rothschilds and the Western World.
I enjoyed this family saga inspired by the Rothschild family. Since I haven’t read anything about the Rothschilds and the author didn’t give us an Afterword as to how closely she followed their lives, I can’t say how true this story was to theirs. It was very interesting that the family set up banks in most European capitals, and kept everything very strictly controlled by family members only in the administrative positions.Marriages were arranged, so Greta, in Vienna, was slated to marry her cousin, Albert, in London. They met each other on the day of the wedding. Greta is described as the fun-loving “wild child†of her family, and Albert was the serious, butterfly-hunting, usually dour, opposite. Obviously, we are treated to years of friction and mutual disdain. Little by little, an appreciation grows and, well, you know!The story going on in the background is the lead-up to World War I. In the beginning, Kaiser Wilhelm is the German leader, but upon his death, Hitler rises to power. The Goldbaums have two things affecting their lives. They’re Jewish, and they control most of the gold in Europe. The countries fighting Germany need money, which they borrow from Goldbaum banks. England is reluctant to be drawn into the conflict, and will need what the Goldbaum’s have if they are. Social life for the Goldbaums goes on almost as usual all during the saber-rattling.At last, America is drawn into the war. Lots of financial dealings are on the table. The Goldbaum main characters find themselves involved in all aspects of the battle, while the Goldbaum women hold the homefront intact in London. There is lots of gardening going on. Descriptions of the gardens are lyrical, and of the war, graphic. Up to the last 50 pages, one is not certain how the family will be at the end of the war.This is a comfortable, sometimes page-turning read. For lovers of historical fiction who are tired of the Romanovs, Victoria and Henry the VIII, this is a good one - interesting and different!
A powerful European family finds itself bowing under the weight of war. Family members will find themselves on opposite sides of the lines in ideology as well as geography, and they will face hardships unlike any they’ve ever experienced. Author Natasha Solomons offers readers a studied look at how war affects the rich and famous in her unnecessarily drawn-out novel House of Gold.In Austria, Greta Goldbaum ponders marriage—her own, that is. As a member of the influential Goldbaum family, Greta knows her lot in life is set. She’s expected to marry within the family to keep the name, and their Jewish heritage, intact. Marrying inside of the family also allows for all the money to stay in one place, and no one can deny that when it comes to money the world tips its hat to the Goldbaums.Greta isn’t so sure about what’s expected of her, however. She’s agreed to marry her distant cousin, Albert, from England, and she’ll have to leave her beloved Vienna for the damp English weather. She just hasn’t made up her mind yet about how much she likes Albert.Life in England brings a drastic change and, in some ways, a welcome one. Greta escapes her overbearing mother, for one thing. Also, despite missing home, she starts to feel freedom in her new country; the kind of freedom she didn’t feel in Austria. When Greta and Albert’s relationship gets off to a rocky start, her mother-in-law offers a distraction: a garden for Greta to call her own. Greta puts her attention and energy into it, and like a young seedling given the right space her marriage with Albert also begins to blossom.Even their budding romance can’t shade itself from the threat of World War I, which brings a whole host of complications. The greatest one comes in the monetary cost: war officials count on the resources the Goldbaum family can provide, even while discriminating against “common†Jews all in the same breath. The double standard makes Albert and some of his other cousins think twice about just where the money is going, but no one can doubt the power of currency. If it’s gone, the only thing that matters is that it’s been spent. The Goldbaums must do all they can to preserve their fortune or risk becoming destitute themselves.Author Natasha Solomons gives readers some pleasant tidbits about life as a member of the most elite level of society. The Goldbaums consume lavish meals. They travel in private transportation of every form. They own hothouses where teams of gardeners force flowers and fruits and vegetables to grow at the family’s pleasure, regardless of the season.However, the story itself meanders from topic to topic. Readers will go from scenes of Greta and Albert and the awkwardness of the first months of their semi-arranged marriage to scenes between senior Goldbaum men as they discuss politics and finance. Thrown into the mix are moments with Henri, a member of the French branch of the family as well as Otto, Greta’s brother, in Austria and then in England when he comes to visit. Albert’s brother, Clement, also features somewhat prominently for a while but then inexplicably gets relegated to the background until he almost disappears.Solomons interjects with a subplot about Karl, a beggar boy who eventually connects with one of the Goldbaums to show that war doesn’t care about bank balances; it devastates anyone. While Karl’s story offers a mild distraction from the other plot points, it doesn’t enhance the overall book. In fact, had Karl not been in the novel, the book wouldn’t have suffered in any way.The biggest challenge for readers will be the scope of the novel. They may wonder exactly what it is Solomons wants her target audience to glean from the book. An insipid end that brings the Goldbaums to two years before the end of World War I doesn’t offer any answers. The Goldbaums find themselves limping along in their every-day lives to survive the financial and emotional toll of the war, and readers who stick with the story to the end will find themselves frustrated with the lackluster conclusion.Those interested in historical fiction might find House of Gold interesting. Otherwise, I recommend readers Bypass it.
