Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont is #AWellBehavedWoman. The book by Therese Anne Fowler is part of a growing trend of fictionalizing lives of historical figures. I do wish the book's focus had been flipped. It ends almost as Alva's true contribution to this nation's history begins. This story takes the history and makes it about money and marriage rather her work. It does lead me to research that contribution but unfortunately fails to capture it in the book itself.
