To Marry an English Lord: Or How Anglomania Really Got Started by Gail MacColl

2.0

2.5 stars for me. There were too many names to keep track of for me. And since everyone seemed to have the same first name it got even more confusing...oh and people went by multiple names because once they married they were Lady "whatever" and Duchess "doo-dad" and I couldn't keep it straight. I'm old and my mind is feeble. But the premise was interesting and these weddings shaped British-American relations for years to come. Oh and I can't dislike anything that served as inspiration of Downton Abbey. But honestly, I prefer Downton's focus on a single family much better (I know it's dramatized, but I can keep people straight!)
