I loved this book especially since we go every year to Pawley's
Island where it is set,

The use of personalities already known of jusst adds interest to the plot.

The estate at Hobcaw Barony was given to the state of S. C. and may be visited with a tour given.

Hope this will be helpful to those who might otherwise be put off by the review.

This is a very bad book, and an insult to the memory of Mr. Roosevelt's great mother, Eleanor. Mrs. Roosevelt isn't the only one to suffer, Joan Crawford and Tallulah Bankhead are made to do some rather nasty and entirely fictional things.
