“I feel like my rating may be a little misleading. This was not a terribly written book by any means. It just wasn’t my favorite…I found myself zoning out during it & just kind of waiting for it to end. That’s not because the topic wasn’t interesting, it was! Just not my cup of tea!
It was about the history and life of heiresses through the years…I think the best way to summarize is that life is horrible for women, and women have been treated like objects by men for all of history & the foreseeable future. It doesn’t matter who you are or how much money you have, women will always be treated like nothing…and that was the feeling I got during the whole book.
If you like history though and want to learn about heiresses this is great for you…”
“I thank NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book. I commend Laura Thompson for taking on this subject and attempting to make it into an interesting read. The subject matter is fascinating, as Heiresses do lead a very unusual life. Between the kidnappings, excessive living, and unhappiness the book lurches from one story to another. It is easy to get confused, and sometimes the author puts us into contemporary time and adds an out-of-context comment. I felt at times lost, and the chapters went on forever. Why was this person pulled here, and what was the point of the finally story after we were brought into a more modern time?
I think the book could have been so much better with more organization, and maybe a different structure. The bones are there, but ultimately I had a difficult timing finishing. I did in the end learn a thing or two but was happy to finally finish.”
