The Second Mrs. Astor by Shana Abé

3.0

I agree with those who feel that this was an okay.
I enjoyed the letters Madeline wrote to the son her husband would never meet, but was disappointed in how the book ended - the birth. I was expecting the author to write about The Second Mrs. Astor’s life post Titanic. What happened to her? How did she rebuild her life? Did she find a new love? In my opinion, too much attention was placed on the parties and the opulent lifestyle of the Astors.
