Great escape book. Beautifully evoked the world of the fifties, the world in which my mother came of age as a wife and mother. This family is wealthy, and we were not, but the feel of woman as beautiful accompaniment to powerful man is the same. My father, thankfully, was far more emotional, intelligent, and connected to his family. But the world felt familiar in many ways. And the love story is unlike what I usually read.
I did not love this book. It didn’t hold my attention. In fact I had to start this book twice. Halfway through it picked up when the present day story line was added in. But it wasn’t enough.
