This week, I'm waiting on:
The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
Publication date: June 21, 2011
Description from Goodreads:
Traveling abroad with her mother at the turn of the twentieth century to seek a titled husband, beautiful, vivacious Cora Cash, whose family mansion in Newport dwarfs the Vanderbilts’, suddenly finds herself Duchess of Wareham, married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England. Nothing is quite as it seems, however: Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the English social scene is full of traps and betrayals. Money, Cora soon learns, cannot buy everything, as she must decide what is truly worth the price in her life and her marriage.
I loved the BBC series Downton Abbey and this book has been compared to that show. The main character Cora shares the name (and some of the circumstances) of the Duchess from the show as well. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey or like reading about this time period, add The American Heiress to your TBR list too! Early reviews have been excellent.
O looks good. Great choice.
