“I was wondering… How could I be a woman of such good fortune and have the worst luck of all when it came to the men I loved.”

Yes, me too. I wondered how she could leap so quickly into relationships and then exit quickly too. Allison Pataki must have noticed that theme too, and structures the book around Marjorie Post’s marriages. I found this very interesting and enjoyable. I appreciated the history and found myself searching online as I read to confirm facts. Pataki writes in an honoring and honest way about Post’s successes and failures. I recommend this historical fiction novel and will read more by Pataki.
