Although the book started off well, it seemed disjointed and I found the ending very disappointing. Cheever is clearly a gifted writer, but didn't seem to really flesh out the characters.

I found this book to be very informative and well written. It was amazing to see how sheltered in this day and age you can still be while living in the NY metropolitan area. This is a very interesting book full of information that I had no idea about. It is a quick read. While I would have liked a longer book with more follow up of how her life ended, still strongly recommend.

Wolf Hall is a long book and sometimes hard to keep all the names straight, but it is a great read about the story of Henry VIII and Anne Bolyn. Very addictive and as I got further into the book hard to put down. I am not typically a fan of historical fiction, by Hilary Mantel writes so beautifully that I can't wait to read her follow up book, Bringing up the Bodies.
