I've read extensively about the Langhorne sisters, and Michael Astor is the son of Nancy Langhorne Astor, so I was excited to buy a used copy at Amazon. What a letdown! I read pages and pages of...stuff...before I'd get to a sentence that revealed something new about these amazing women. I did find it interesting to read about his parents' very different ways of dealing with their huge brood, but nothing new was learned. Yawn.
