Beating Wings

From a chaotic childhood shaped by gamblers and vaudeville to the refined world of art and society, Beating Wings follows Ellie's relentless pursuit of identity, culture, and success. Her transformation is both rapid and remarkable, as she navigates class, education, and the expectations of a world unprepared for her kind of brilliance. Chambers blends social commentary with a lively character portrait, crafting a story that captures the spirit of reinvention in post-war America.

Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was an American artist and writer. He wrote many novels, and his most famous effort was The King in Yellow.
