You might be tempted to pick this one up if you need a Downton Abbey sort of book, but be warned, it's a dull, boring book that is full of silliness and very flat characters. American Heiress marries English Nobleman, has daughters but no sons, falls in love with someone else, and Daughters get into romantic messes while the Author name-drops and goes into endless descriptions of clothing, cars and over the top behaviour. Sigh. I don't have the time to waste on crap like this. ONE Star Wonder.
