The American Heiress: May 2012 pick
We're pleased to announce that Daisy Goodwin's The American Heiress is our new SheKnows Book Club pick for May 2012.
Money can't buy happiness
This tantalizing novel's plot jumps off the pages as you follow Cora Cash on her journey to finding what she thinks will be her happy ending -- ultimately determining that money can't buy happiness.
The American Heiress is the perfect fit for the SheKnows Book Club with so many themes to discuss.
About The American Heiress
It's the story of Cora Cash, an American heiress in the 1890s who should have been careful what she wished for. Traveling abroad with her mother at the turn of the 20th century to seek a titled husband -- beautiful, vivacious Cora, whose family mansion in Newport dwarfs the Vanderbilt's -- suddenly finds herself Duchess of Wareham, married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England. Nothing is quite as it seems however. Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the English social scene is full of traps and betrayals. Money, Cora soon learns, cannot buy everything, as she must decide what is truly worth the price in her life and her marriage.
