The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin

3.0

---

A turn-of-the-century tale about a rich, spoiled American socialite who marries a moody English duke. There's nothing particularly original here -- the characters, the meddling mother-in-law, the clash of cultures, the thwarted lovers -- but it's a pleasant read, albeit ultimately forgettable. You will immediately start confusing this with any number of Jane Austen or Edith Wharton novels or knock-offs.
