lnschmidt23 's review for:
Fortune's Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt
by Arthur T. Vanderbilt II
While I listened to an audiobook version of this, I was very invested in the Vanderbilt’s stories and lived throughout the different generations.
Even when the novel covered Vanderbilt’s that I was not familiar with before, I was still interested and amused about their life troubles and successes. It gave me a new perspective on this almost mythologized American family and I quickly understood how their fortune slowly dwindled over the many years.
I decided to read/listen to this novel prior to the newest season of The Gilded Age coming out and it got me right back into that mindset of Gilded Age New York and gave me a broader perspective than the TV Show has been able to cover thus far.
