It was interesting because I've never read a book like this, but I just could not get into the main character. 

She was quite holier than thou and very hypocritical.  Everything always went her way, she had nothing but resources so I'm not exactly sure what the real interest of the story is.

I did find out that my grandfather used to be her driver in Battle Creek, so that was interesting!

3.5. I love visiting Hillwood and seeing M’s treasures. Always a pleasure and a beautiful estate. This book brought some of the treasures to life.
