![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() I enjoyed this book immensely. The writing style is easy, accessible and very enjoyable. The author seamlessly interweaves the life and history of Emily Post with the people and times of her life, giving a full portrait of what it was like to live in the "Gilded Age" and how a personality such as Emily Post was created. My only real criticism is that the last few chapters felt more like listing the changes she made in her book, and her professional appearances rather than actually discussing her life. That got a little tiresome after a bit. But over all an excellent book that I would recommend to anyone who has an interest in either her or the time she lived in. And wow did that lady see lots of changes. ![]() no reviews | add a review
Emily Post was a daughter of high society, one of Manhattan's most sought-after débutantes. After a scandalous divorce forced her to become her own person, she became an emblem of a new kind of manners in which etiquette and ethics were forever entwined. No library descriptions found. |
