Karr has a talent for making historical fiction appealing.  This is melodrama, with a bit of a romance, a bit of family issues, but it's also set in 1924 so there's other interesting stuff going on in the background.  I only wished for some pictures, to show us the gowns that Greer wanted and the dress she had to wear, and the boat, and the cars....  Not my first by Karr (I really liked Gilbert and Sullivan...") and not my last."
