2.5/5. This books took me AGES to get though, partly because it was very long but also because I never really wanted to keep reading it. But I'm a book finisher, so here we are. None of the characters in this book were particularly likable, with the exception of the grandmother Betsy and perhaps Charles St. Mullins and Martin Dunbar. This was a sweeping multi generational story about two families who were probably equally messed up and then produced even more messed up offspring. I thought theDefinitely not a fan of this book. This was the first book I picked up by this author and clearly this is not the best book by her. This book is excessively bloated that could use an extensive amount of cutting out. Let's be honest, right off the bat the first 200 pages could be cut out. Everything was either too overly detailed or dry as heck. I did not connect or like any of the main characters. They are so not likeable at all. There are times when I want to shake all of them for being so
This book is about a woman who is married to an English Lord and has three children, but all of the children have different father's and her husband isn't one of them.I usually really enjoy Penny Vincenzi's books, but this one seemed to go on forever, without there being anything new revealed. I think this book could have started with Virginia's death and had more flashbacks to provide some of the important information from her lifetime.It is an interesting idea for a story, and there were parts
This novel about English nobility,and New York power brokers and the families of both, entwined with wealth, greed, misplaced loyalties and dark family secrets. Virgina Praeger, daughter of Fred Praeger, owner of Praegers, a New York bank falls in love with Alexander, Earl of Catherham marries him and starts her life in England living the ancesteral home of Hartest. She has three children, Charlotte, Georgina and Max. What they don't know is that each of them has a different father. Virgina
Long-winded. If I had to describe this book in one phrase, that's what I'd say. The story was interesting enough; with family secrets, trust fund kids, Wall Street greed, sex, attempted murder, office politics, revenge, lust, family politics, affairs, English aristocracy, alcoholism, drugs, jealousy, rivalries, and more secrets, and more sex, this book had more drama than any soap opera or Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode, but good grief, it was a couple hundred pages too long!
I read this book for the 1st time a long time ago. So it was all new to me.What a plot and what a style of writing Penny Vincenzi has.The title does not do justice to the book, it is fabulous. It is sexy, glamorous and fun, this story of two sisters and one brother who found out that they all had different fathers.Alexander, the Earl of Caterham, was married to their mother but is obsessed with this estate, the house, etc.Some parts are still a mystery to me, for instance did the Earl really try
