"Karen Harper tells the tale of Consuelo Vanderbilt, her “The Wedding of the Century” to the Duke of Marlborough, and her quest to find meaning behind “the glitter and the gold.”"
5 Stars! What a terrific book.. I wanted to read it after I read Robin Paige's, "Murder at Blenheim Palace", and I will try to get Consuelo Vanderbilt's own memoir, which is on kindle also I think.
What a life she led and much of it she made happen herself. Yes, of course she was a millionaire, but..
She ended up having a good and memorable life, despite a marriage she did not choose or want herself..
Sons, grandchildren and charitable foundations and a very happy 2nd marriage. Recommended!!
