Mix and pour into two small martini glasses then settle in for this sometimes slow, occasionally repetitive book on the Oul Standard heiress Millicent Rogers. A delicate beauty with fragile health this woman born in 1902 led a life if art beauty and fashion- however she was more than a trendsetter she was a great philanthropist and champion of American Indians . An arguably neglectful mother she led a trail of romances, including Clark a Gable in her sable-cloaked wake. The book gives depth to what could have been a shallow rebelling of courtiers best customer. Living with the shadow of death always looming Rogers made much if her brief sojourn on earth. We'll worth the read.
