Great storytelling--hard to put down. This was a fascinating look into the lives of the upper class. Pomerantz has a wonderful writing style free of cliches and predictability. Highly recommend.

This book is outstanding. I enjoyed it from cover to cover. It is well-written and true to the periods it represents. I enjoyed all of the characters. It was far from predictable as there were many surprises along the way. This is one of the best books I've read and I highly recommend it.
