I sold The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin to one of my customers (who is actually a friend’s mom) and a week later she walked in the bookstore with the book in her hand. Oh no!!! She didn’t like it was racing through my thoughts and I immediately started to apologize. She stopped me and said “I loved it and have brought it for you to read next!” So that evening I went home book in hand. I started it over the weekend and by Wednesday and I was finished!
Cora Cash is a New York Debutante and probably the richest heiress in the country. Cora has been groomed for this moment since she was a young girl and her mother has very big plans for her. The morning after Cora’s ‘coming out’ the Cash’s yacht will be steaming through across the Atlantic to introduce Miss Cora Cash to the society of England and hopefully be married within the year. Mrs. Cash realizes that being wealthy is fine but as an American a “title” is out of the question but her daughter could marry into one. Cora though wants to marry for love and has plans of her own. Cora meets a Duke and they quickly fall in love and are married but she soon learns that these old world aristocrats are a tight circle and she has much to learn if she wants to be accepted and survive in their world.
If you are a fan of Edith Wharton and Jane Austen novels or Downton Abbey on Masterpiece Theater then you will certainly enjoy The American Heiress.
