Exercise caution while making wishes. Beautiful and vivacious Cora Cash, whose family's Newport house dwarfs the Vanderbilts', travels overseas with her mother at the beginning of the 20th century in search of a titled spouse. Suddenly, she finds herself married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England, and becomes Duchess of Wareham. But nothing is exactly as it seems: betrayals and traps abound in the English social scene, and Ivo is a reclusive and private person. Cora quickly discovers that money cannot buy everything and that she must choose what in her life and marriage is really worth the sacrifice.
Cora's narrative, which is witty, poignant, and very entertaining, introduces us to a magnificent storyteller who breathes new life into the worlds of Edith Wharton and Henry James.
