About The Book

Mrs. Astor, undisputed queen of New York society in the decades before the First World War, created a social aristocracy of unparalleled extravagance and exclusivity. This lively account of her life and the era over which she presided sheds new light on the origins and lifestyle of this aristocracy.

“Homberger’s narrative has the verve and resonance of a novel by Edith Wharton.” — Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

“A rollicking, illuminating book.” — Clive Aslet, Country Life
