The Glitter and the Gold: The American Duchess---In Her Own Words by Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan

DID NOT FINISH: 3%

---

A whole lot of descriptions about lavish houses, vacations, and names of important people of the time. I found it drab. There had been a little bit about the abusive mother but it was drowned out by all the descriptions of buildings and fabrics that I care nothing about. It wasn’t even done well to paint a picture. Not my cup of tea.
