The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin

3.0

While there were many aspects of this book I enjoyed (mainly the Gilded Age history of British and American high society colliding), I never really felt entirely sympathetic towards the fate of the heroine, Cora Cash. She did shed some of her upper-crust naivete as the book progressed, but she never seemed to be able to outsmart the lords and ladies she so desperately wanted to run with, which I found disappointing. Still made for an enjoyable, speedy read - lots of gorgeous scenery to take in.
