mitchelina 's review for:
The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
by Allison Pataki
While I really appreciate that someone is out there writing historical fiction about interesting women, I couldn't help but feel like this book was just skimming the surface. I had a difficult time understanding why her marriages kept failing. Also, there was not much information about other important facets of her life, including her extensive philanthropy. She talked about her friend Edna Hutton, but never even mentioned that Edna had died very young and under suspicious circumstances -- she just disappears from the narrative.
Honestly, she could have written a book exclusively on her time as a diplomat's wife -- that was one of the most interesting sections. MMP did indeed have magnificent lives -- too many for one book, I think.
