Stars: 5
Review by: Jelsey
Destination: London and Dorset, England
In 1893 wealthy Cora Cash and her mother travel from Newport, R.I., to London, England, to find an aristocratic husband for the beautiful Cora. This book will remind you of Henry James and Edith Wharton in their stories of well-heeled Americans seeking matches with titled Europeans. The contrast between the outgoing, trusting Cora and the old-world aristocrats she must negotiate among makes for wonderful theater. The story is fast moving and told with elegance and wit. I hated to see it end!
