The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post
by Allison Pataki
4.5 stars
I received a complimentary Kindle book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you to Allison Pataki, Ballantine Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
This is an incredible book - I so loved learning about the life of Marjorie Merriweather Post. For full honestly, I have loved ALL of Allison Pataki's adult books. She is an incredible writer of historical fiction which is my favorite genre.
I had heard of Marjorie Merriweather Post (the name Post is a big tip-off), but I had no idea about her incredible philanthropic efforts. It was incredible the wonderful things that she did that were noticed, but it is obvious that there are so many things that were NOT noticed.
She seemed to have incredible style, hospitality, and amazing joie de vivre. Marjorie had amazing homes, parties, and friends. I know that I would have LOVED her - she was a meticulous perfectionist just like me. If only!!
I know that Allison Pataki could have written many more chapters on Ms. Post's life. But, I love that I have read enough that I want to know more. It has given me a hunger to learn how to be more philanthropic and be more like Marjorie Merriweather Post!!
This book is a colorful, fun, and engaging read!! I stayed up WAY too late last night reading it!! It is my 4th fantastic book of 2022 - it is going to be a great literary year!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
