Nobility - Sharon Jackson

. .

Résumé :
The debut novel of author Sharon Jackson, Nobility is a look at the power of wealth, beauty, and privilege to corrupt-and the strength of a heart to overcome its own inner darkness. Elyse Aubrey Encott had everything she could have ever wanted. Born to an affluent family with a bright future ahead of her, Elyse's life is irrevocably shattered when her parents suddenly pass away. Now orphaned, and with her family's wealth squandered due to her parents' addictions and reckless choices, Elyse is left homeless, impoverished, and without allies. But Elyse has more strength than she realizes-and soon she finds herself rising from the ashes to claim her place in the world. Being unspeakably beautiful doesn't hurt, either. But Elyse has more than looks-intelligence, ingenuity, and a little uncanny luck are on her side, too. This thrilling coming of age story is a redemption arc and a gaze into the lifestyles of the extremely wealthy rolled into one. Readers will connect deeply with Elyse's grappling with generosity and selfishness...
