Summary: 5 Stars
This easy to read book is an amazingly revealing insight into the life the England of Country Houses of some 80 years ago. Written by Consuelo Vanderbilt an American heiress who married the Duke of Marlborough the marriage was arranged by the two families, for the usual reasons - money to marry title. Consuelo was a really amazing person, beautiful, well educated, caring and fun - however this marriage was not to last, infact it was something of an ordeal. After she produced the 'heir and spare' she realised there was more to life than being a Duchess. What followes in her life makes up for all the sadness of her first marriage. This is a book well worth reading. If you are interested in history it helps you understand the way of life so much more.
