Sobre este artículo
Hardcover first edition with dust jacket, published by Houghton Mifflin, 2008. The dust jacket is intact, though it has been price clipped on the front flap. The first blank flyleaf has a gift note written on black fine point ink. High quality brown cloth covered boards with sewn binding. The text is clean, no writing besides that gift dedication. The dust jacket only has that price clip as wear. This is not a remainder copy, not a library discard. The boards are clean and the corners are not bumped. 322 pages with Index, Bibliography, and Notes. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory not a stock photo.
Sinopsis
The fate of Brooke Astor, the endearing philanthropist with the storied name, has generated worldwide headlines since her grandson Philip sued his father, Anthony Marshall, in 2006, alleging mistreatment of Brooke. Shortly after her death in 2007, Anthony was indicted on charges of looting her estate. New York journalist Meryl Gordon has interviewed not only the elite of Mrs. Astor's social circle but also the large staff who cared for her during her declining years. The result is the behind-the-headlines story of the Astor empire’s unraveling, filled with never-before-reported scenes. This powerful, poignant saga takes the reader inside the gilded gates of an American dynasty to tell of three generations’ worth of longing and missed opportunities and is filled with secrets of the sort that have engaged Americans from the era of Edith Wharton to the more recent days of Truman Capote. Even in this territory of privilege, no riches can put things right once they’ve been torn asunder. Mrs. Astor Regrets is an American epic of the bonds of money, morality, and social position.
