Unabridged Audiobook
No sense of lyric in the language Did not care for the characters. Similar subject is “ the Rules of Civility “. Much better book
It’s not until the last chapters that the book becomes worth it. You’re better off with Edith Wharton or Henry James, which have more psychological depth, as the premise in this book is not that sophisticated. It is however nicely written and beautifully read.
Surprise was not a surprise.
Dreadfully dull. How this won a Pulitzer Prize is unbelievable, its so bad.
This book was surprisingly strong in providing possible scenarios of how wealth may have been built in this country. Particularly enlightening was the author’s understanding that some powerful men took credit for the brainpower of women. Haughtiness seemed to wreak from these men, the more they were dependent on a woman.
The language of this book is exquisite. Such a great read!
I though the book was remarkable. There were times I felt a bit lost in the details. Overall, it was a powerful tale of an interesting time. Made me wonder about other couples who seemingly worked as a team.
Laughed at the contrasting perspectives.
The author is brilliant, and the story hooked me for most of the book, however i wasn’t thrilled with the last third of the book. I enjoyed it, extremely well written,
