"Anyone suffering "Downton Abbey" withdrawal symptoms (who isn't?)
will find an instant tonic in Daisy Goodwin's "The American
Heiress." The story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s
who bags an English duke, this is a deliciously evocative first
novel that lingers in the mind." "--Allison Pearson, New York Times
"bestselling author of "I Don't Know How She Does It" and "I Think
I Love You
"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quite as it seems, however: Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the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""" "The American Heiress "was originally sold and
distributed in the UK as "My Last Duchess"
