Sounds Like A Fairy Tale, Not A Happy Ending,
By Betty Burks "Betty Burks" (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Once Upon A Time (Audio Cassette)
The Vanderbilt image is one of power, not necessarily contentment, and Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt had it all. Shuffled back and forth between a domineering grandmother and her mentally ill mother, she endures a strange, but educational childhood.
This book is her memoir of what it was like to live in a world apart from the rest of us, and the consequences. It reads like a novel about love and loss, only this is about the strange lifestyles of a family entrenched in the rich and famous, with a dash of old-time political intrigue. She had to be without prejudice with such a different mother to emulate. The heredity probably caused the suicide of her son. She has endured much, but I do enjoy wearing her hand cream; alas, I did not care for the Vanderbilt jeans, but she stayed so slim they looked good on her. More power to her! Her life hasn't been easy even with the wealth and class to which she was born. It has been hard but no doubt made her a stronger woman for just getting through it. |
