![]() The story starts when Alva was Alva Smith, a member of a well-respected family that was also incredibly poor. I know I can rely on Therese Anne Fowler to write an entertaining and historically accurate story, so what better way to learn about Alva Vanderbilt? I loved Z (about Zelda Fitzgerald) so I was really looking forward to reading A Well-Behaved Woman. The Vanderbilt name is one I’ve heard but not really known the details about (besides being American and incredibly rich). Why I chose it: Really enjoyed Z, and getting to explore another historical figure through great historical fiction. The not-so-good: The amount of fighting Alva had to do to be recognised. The good: Incredibly interesting (and so tempting to look up on the internet what happened next) In brief: The story of Alva Vanderbilt and how she married into the famous family and lived her life. ![]()
