The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin

3.0

This is a tale of a rich American gal who hops the pond and marries an English Duke who has a fancy estate but needs a rich wife to keep it running. This happened a lot in the late 1800s, and the majority of this book is Cora (rich American gal) adjusting to life as a Duchess. It was an interesting book, and I read a nonfiction book detailing all the true stories of this, and of course there is Downton. I liked the book, but it was a bit predictable, and the ending was a bit too idyllic. Not a bad read, though, especially if you like Downton and English fancy life.
