Josh G., who kindly supplied this book, noted "I had high hopes for this book, but I find it to be quite vague." I agree. The author had an interesting life, but it is a very personal book.

The book by Ms. Vanderbilt? is still remembered by me because she spoke in a bit of detail about society life early in the last century and of their arduous trip to escape the Nazis via southern France and Spain.
