Book Overview
"Sophisticated with just the right dose of sinister, this coming-of-age story doesn't shy from the grisly power dynamics of privilege." --Library Journal
When it comes to seeing the future--do you really want to know? Middle-class Rosie Macalister has worked for years to fit in with her wealthy friends on the Yale equestrian team. But when she comes back from her junior year abroad with newfound confidence, she finds that the group has been infiltrated by a mysterious intruder: Annelise Tattinger. A talented tarot reader and a brilliant rider, the enigmatic Annelise is unlike anyone Rosie has ever met. But when one of their friends notices money disappearing from her bank account, Annelise's place in the circle is thrown into question. As the girls turn against each other, the group's unspoken tensions and assumptions lead to devastating consequences. It's only after graduation, when Rosie begins a job at a Manhattan hedge fund, that she uncovers Annelise's true identity--and how her place in their elite Yale set was no accident. Is it too late for Rosie to put right what went wrong, or does everyone's luck run out at some point? Set in the heady days of the early aughts, The Fortune Seller is a haunting examination of class, ambition, and the desires that shape our lives.Format:Hardcover

THE FORTUNE SELLER by Rachel Kapelke-Dale
A story about an elite group of Yale equestrian students in the early aughts. I learned so much about the competitive equestrian scene and horses. Maybe too much?
I struggle to review this as I *did* like it enough to finish it, but it went on so much longer than it needed to. While the plot had some merit with the whole (heavily foreshadowed and predictable) murder-mystery, I was expecting more.
If you’re a novice reader or even someone who reads tarot regularly, I think you’ll appreciate how tarot cards and their meanings/messages were used and incorporated within the story and chapter titles. I know I did. It’s the one thing that kept me interested in the story.
In short, it was good and I liked it, but not enough to fully recommend it.
