The writer seems to be nonplussed about the fact that the family in which she invested many hours of research and writing will not comment and will not have the book in the gift shop at the Biltmore mansion. Interesting

Yes! Her writing is wonderful and I appreciated the focus on Edith. Cornelia was pretty surprising, though!

I couldn’t agree with you more on the “absurdity” of this undertaking – wow! I was really fascinated by the fact that this all came together so many years ago; it would be a challenge today, even with our modern technology and equipment, but in the early 1900s?? Incredible! I think Kiernan did a phenomenal job with this story and I really enjoy her writing.
