amandasbookreview 's review for:

The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
4.0

I am finally all caught up! For February, I had to read 3 books for my book club. The last book, The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin did not disappoint. The book introduces Cora Cash, a wealthy heiress in America. Some may think she has it all, the only thing she doesn’t have is freedom. Cora is determined to get out the grasp of her mother. While on tour in England, she meets a handsome Duke, who proposes a week later. From the outside, it would seem that once again she has it all. However, her husband is a man full of secrets. The English society is vicious. The only way to survive is to be stronger than she was before.

I had to be very simplistic in my synopsis, for there are so many details and twists. I do not want to spoil it for anyone. I was very excited to read this book. Although, at first, I could not seem to get into the book. It is quite slow. However, around page 100, the pieces started falling into place and I could not put the book down. There are quite a few storylines that really slowed down the pace, especially in the beginning.
