Unabridged Audiobook
An intriguing novel full of splendid descriptions of the lavish lifestyle of high society in 19th century America. Suspense was maintained throughout. Undoubtedly being poor in those times was infinitely worse, but being an obedient doll of a daughter - and then wife - expected to dedicate your life to ostentation, vanity and gossip, prohibited from learning, reading, painting, or even demonstrating intelligence... well, that way madness lies.
Started out slow and a little depressing topic which I was not expecting but finally picked up pace and I ended up enjoying. Well written with good historical details about high society in America in late 1800’s. Narrator was good.
