I was fascinated by this story! American society thinks of the early aristocrats as wealthy and cultured. We don't realize that they are sometimes flawed and that the money eventually runs out! To think of that beautiful home falling in disrepair is sad enough, but to read of the dysfunctional family was even sadder. I hope Alexandra Aldrich has finally found happiness. Quick read, done in one day!
