The Magnolia Palace rewrites the history of a landmark of New York and the art world: the Frick Museum. Fiona Davis breathes life into the masterpieces from the Frick Collection, turning them into key characters in deciphering a mystery that has been going on for more than four decades since the 1920s.
New York, 1919. The residence of the tycoon Henry Clay Frick's family and the space of his impressive art collection is the last refuge of the young Lillian Carter, or Angelica, as she is known in the artistic environment, as she was the muse of sculptors. Hiring as the personal secretary of Miss Helen, the daughter of the dreaded Henry Frick, Lillian is forced to keep her past as a model under wraps, even if the proximity to the sculptors she worked with opened the doors to the Frick residence. In the middle of a family torn by drama and intrigue, Lillian will become the main suspect in the death of the tycoon and the disappearance of the Magnolia diamond, and the mystery will not be solved until the sixties, when a young British woman will bring them all together - suspects and victims -, so that the truth will finally come to light and heal.
