Great story

I loved this book. LOTS of detail and historical information. In the end I was so sad to know that Kate's marriage was such a failure. I kept asking her in my head "can't you see William is not who he pretends to be?". Oh had she only married John Hay. That said., PLEASE write a book about Nettie - the more successful sister in the end! Not much about her out there but I know know she was a children's book illustrator and helped develop the "Hamptons" as a resort. The fact that she was successful in her own right honestly outshines her "more popular" sister Kate!
