Dazzling, eccentric, and wealthy are the adjectives that best describe Benjamin and Helen Rask, who were all the talk in New York during the 1920s. Benjamin was a legend for being steps ahead of every financial windfall and crisis. Helen spent much of her childhood in Europe and was the daughter of eccentric aristocrats who had to sing for their supper as the money ran out. Told from various perspectives as reclusiveness and illness descend, the question at the center of this story is: "Was it all worth it?" This one might be good for the men in your life who enjoy talk of money, legacy and a good meta-fiction.
