Summary |
The story of Jennie Jerome tells of one of the first transatlantic unions linking American heiresses, like the Langhorne sisters and the Vanderbilts, with members of an increasingly impecunious British aristocracy. Their father, Leonard, was a successful New York stockbroker whose beautiful wife, Clara Hall, was as extravagant as her husband. Their three daughters - Jennie, Clara and Leonie - were provided with every advantage, and lived a charmed existence |
