The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post A Novel
Reviews


I must admit I don´t always read synopsis and many times, I do read it but after adding it to my tbr where it most likely spent months waiting to be picked up- I have forgotten what it was about and put all the trust in my past self. All this to say that I read this entire book thinking it was historical fiction (think Evelyn Hugo) and, turns out, it is not. I´ll leave it to your imagination to try and picture my shock when the first couple of lines into the author´s note mention a quote about Marjorie Merriweather Post. God, what a life she lived. I, of course, have to research more into her life to know whether or not this is a good rendition to her life; but basing myself solely on this work, impressive feels so small. This woman did so much and went through so much; and honestly, it made me feel like TJR must have gotten some inspiration for Evelyn from Marjorie Merriweather Post and if that was the case, she did not do her justice.
