Description - Savage Girl by Jean Zimmerman
In 1875, the Delegates, an outlandishly wealthy Manhattan couple on a tour of the American West, seek out a sideshow attraction called 'Savage Girl.' Her handlers avow that the wild, seemingly mute Bronwyn has been raised by wolves. Presented with the perfect blank slate to explore the power of civilized nurture, the Delegates take her back east to be introduced into high society. Cleaned up, Bronwyn is blazingly smart and darkly beautiful; as she takes steps toward her grand debut, a series of suitors find her irresistible - and begin to turn up murdered. 'An over-the-top romp through 1870s America . . . compulsively readable.' Oprah.com 'A sweeping narrative . . . that raises touchy questions about what it means to be civilized.' The New York Times Book Review ' An Edith Wharton-meets-Stephen King page-turner.' The Hollywood Reporter
