Representaion In Favor Of Books The American Lady (Glasbläser-Saga #2)
Tempestuous and beautiful Wanda Miles, daughter of Ruth and Stephen Miles (or so she thinks), aspires to more than the life of a debutante, but the trouble is she doesn’t know precisely what she wants. Then her aunt Marie, the family’s renowned glassblower, arrives from Lauscha, Germany, and Wanda decides that learning about her ancestry may hold the key to her future. When Marie accidentally reveals a long-held secret about Wanda’s parents, Wanda goes to Lauscha to unravel the truth.While Marie finds herself increasingly swept up in New York City’s bohemian social scene—catching the eye of a handsome young Italian in the process—Wanda explores a past she never knew in the village of her mother’s youth—and begins to build a life that she never expected.
A sweeping tale that takes readers from the small town of Lauscha to the skyscrapers of New York and the sun-kissed coast of Italy, The American Lady is a tribute to the enduring power of family and what we’ll do in the name of love.

The American Lady by Petra Durst-Benning is the second book in The Glassblowers Trilogy. Ruth Steinmann has immigrated to America with Steven Miles and her daughter, Wanda. After two years Ruth was able to get a divorce from her husband Thomas. It is now seventeen years later. Wanda is a young lady who is a very independent thinker. Despite the fact that her family is wealthy, Wanda wants to work a job. Wanda has just gotten a job a Dittmers Deli. Unfortunately, things do not go well and WandaBoth the Glassblower and the American Lady were mediocre books. They just missed the Mark of being truly interesting. I enjoy generational books, especially of simply people who struggle through life to become some thing. That is what held my interest in these books. The Steinmann sisters (Johanna, Ruth and Marie) struggle to build their father's glassblowing business after he dies (book 1).

The connection I formed with the characters is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It felt as though I was there with them. Celebrating their joy and sobbing at their sorrows and loss. And how I became whenever one was slighted, as though they were friends of mine to protect!Well done, Petra. And on to book 3!
The second book in The Glassblower trilogy, I found The American Lady to be surprisingly , well, surprising in the adventures of the Steinmann sisters and their family members. The plot took so many twists and turns and at times I felt I knew for sure what was going to happen but I was completely wrong. I love it when a novel shakes up my assumptions! I'm excited for the third installment to be available in the US and see how Petra Durst-Benning wraps up this tale. There is so much good stuff in

4.5 StarsThe American Lady is a good sequel to The Glassblower. But be prepared to have a hankey close by at the end. I'll admit I didn't see it coming though there were clues here and there. Marie Steinmann is bored and hasn't created a new sketch for her family's glassblowing shop. At 38, she fears that she's all out of ideas. In New York, Wanda Miles is also having trouble finding her way in the world. She doesn't want to be a young wealthy socialite. She wants to make her own path in the
