About this book

Dolley Carlson's engrossing story "The Red Coat" is set in Boston. Norah King, an Irish domestic helper, requests a sophisticated red coat designated for charity from her affluent employer, Caroline Parker. This seemingly straightforward conversation starts a series of events that affect generations, starting with the initial owner of the coat, marriage-minded college student Cordelia Parker, and ending with the resolute King sisters of South Boston.

Set against the backdrop of Boston in the 1940s and 1950s, The Red Coat deftly combines unexpected possibilities, love, sorrow, and social divides. Explore this amazing story that documents Boston's history from the South End and the Hill.
