Staff Review
Do you like hilarious memoirs about wildly dysfunctional families like I do? This might be the best one I've ever read. Wendy Burden treats us to a personal close-up view of her family, the amazingly rich descendants of Cornelius Vanderbilt and all of their eccentricities. I hope she writes more!
