The American Heiress

"Be careful what you wish for. 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 Nothing is quite as it seems, however: Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the English social scene is full of traps and betrayals.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. Witty, moving, and brilliantly entertaining, Cora's story marks the debut of a glorious storyteller who brings a fresh new spirit to the world of Edith Wharton and Henry James. "For daughters of the new American billionaires of the 19th century, it was the ultimate deal: marriage to a cash-strapped British Aristocrat in return for a title and social status. But money didn't always buy them happiness." --DAISY GOODWIN IN THE DAILY MAIL"--

Not sure what to think of this. Had high hopes and started out fairly well. The plot and the characters just aren't developed enough in my opinion. One minute the author has you rooting for one character and by the next page you hate them. By the end you find yourself wanting redemption for the main character, only to feel it ends suddenly in the most crappy way.

A very fluffy little book, that I very much enjoyed reading, but will not last past next weekend in my memory. However, I stayed up late to read it, and read it on the stationary bike, etc., so I must have liked it.
