The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
by Allison Pataki
This was such an interesting book but so LONG (15 hours on audio). Thankfully I realized I could follow at 1.75 speed and that helped.
I knew absolutely nothing about the history of Marjorie Post, but the story of her and her father, CW Post, was fascinating. I got a little tired of hearing all the details of the lavish parties she threw, but I assume that was a big part of who she was.
The book is divided into four parts. The first covers her childhood, the founding of Post Cereal, and her first marriage. The other three parts follow her other three marriages. While she had a Midas touch with business, she didn’t have it with love.
The book is pretty clean. There is talk about sex but nothing is ever described. No bad language. Trigger warning: suicide.
If you enjoy historical fiction, I think you’d enjoy this book. It was really interesting!
