- W4313377310 abstract "Reviewed by: The Davenports by Krystal Marquis Aaren Tucker Marquis, Krystal The Davenports. Dial, 2023 [384p] Trade ed. ISBN 9780593463338 $19.99 E-book ed. ISBN 9780593463352 $10.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R Gr. 7-12 The Davenports, of the Davenport Carriage Company, are one of the few wealthy Black families in 1910 Chicago, and trials and romances swirl around four women in the family’s orbit. Eldest daughter Olivia Davenport is on the hunt for a suitable husband but begins to question the course of her life when she meets a lawyer and activist from Alabama. Helen Davenport is a talented mechanic with ambitions to take her father’s company into the future of automobiles, but her father sees no place for Helen in his business. Meanwhile, Ruby Tremaine, Olivia’s closest friend, is similarly finding it difficult to live up to her parents’ expectations, especially now that her father is making a bid to become Chicago’s first Black mayor. And finally, dreamy Amy-Rose, the Davenport’s maid who has been raised from childhood alongside them, applies her smarts and dedication to realize both her dreams and her long-standing crush on the Davenport son. Each girl brings a compelling arc to this series opener, and debut author Marquis crafts the rich setting with intriguing historical details and explorations of lesser-known Black history in the grand tradition of romance novelist Beverly Jenkins. The romances mostly fall flat, but the distinct and satisfying emotional journeys of the four protagonists are wonderful stories on their own. The book ends on a cliffhanger for the Davenport siblings, giving fans of historical fiction, and particularly those looking for Black representation without trauma, something to look forward to.
