I’ve never visited Coney Island, although I have heard of it to be honest, if I want to go to an amusement park, New York wouldn’t be my first-choice destination. She meets an artist by the name of Stefan, selling his paintings in Dreamland, and not one, but two women are found murdered on the beach. Things seem like they’re going to plan, but Peggy is more interested in the amusement parks, until two things happen to shake up her stay at the luxurious Oriental Hotel.
This union is important since Peggy’s father died in debt, which his brothers have been hiding from her mother. There they all hope that Peggy’s sister’s fiancé (who Peggy dated for a while) will finally set the date for their wedding. In the meanwhile, she found some small escape from her family working in a bookshop, until she was spirited away by her uncle to show some solidarity with the clan by accompanying them to Coney Island for one of the hottest summers on record. She wants to be her own woman, and being only months away from getting her inheritance from her grandfather when she turns 21, she’s almost there. In 1911, Margaret (aka Peggy) Battenberg is a member of one of the richest families in America, but she’s a bit of a black sheep and a rebel.
