Product description

Review

“This is an absolutely terrific novel. If you want to know more about the twentieth century, it’s all here . . . and if you want to be inspired by a brilliant, gorgeous, and powerful woman, then Marjorie Post fits will fill the bill. . . . Pataki manages to make every chapter in this long and complicated life fascinating. Marjorie’s love life is as enthralling as it is heartbreaking. Her four successive husbands are unequal to the task of truly loving a woman of such wealth and power. She never admits defeat, however, and ultimately embodies the ideal of a true American hero.”—Historical Novel Society

“Allison Pataki takes the reader on a luxurious ride filled with jet-setting locales and opulent mansions, while deftly revealing how Marjorie Post’s humble beginnings fed her desire to become a new kind of heiress, forging her own way through the world and keenly aware of her legacy.”
—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue

The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post is a richly detailed and impeccably researched triumph. Historical fiction readers will love this immersive and sweeping tribute to the fascinating Marjorie Merriweather Post.”—Chanel Cleeton, New York Times bestselling author of The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba

“With remarkable expertise, Allison Pataki has given literary voice to this legendary and remarkable historical figure. Here is an intriguing plunge into the very soul of a woman who walked both the hard and the beautiful roads of life and deserves to be remembered.
The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post is transportive fiction at its best!”—Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Nature of Fragile Things

“Allison Pataki has written a fascinating novel about one of Washington’s most formidable female figures.”
—Nancy Rubin Stuart, author of American Empress: The Life and Times of Marjorie Merriweather Post

“Chock full of stranger-than-fiction moments . . . Pataki’s story doesn’t skimp on Post’s dazzling adventures—there’s big money, big houses, and big jewelry at almost every turn—but it takes pains to present a private side of Post and establish her as more than just an heiress. . . . Post’s not just any historical titan. She was larger-than-life in her own time.”Town & Country
