Book excerpt: A sweeping saga of love and danger among the aristocracy of early 19th-century New York, "Vadriel Vail" paints a vivid portrait of the excesses and arrogance of the privileged upper classes while providing a richly detailed and classic gothic tale of romance, secrets, and windswept coastlines. From the heights of glittering society to the depths of poverty in the unimaginably horrific immigrant slums, "Vadriel Vail" is a relentlessly entertaining historical romance of the highest order. Vincent Virga is the author of "Gaywyck" and "A Comfortable Corner." He has researched, edited, and designed picture sections for more than 150 books, including "Eyes of the Nation: A Visual History of the United States."
