Résumé
This is a story of money, glamour, and scandal (on the highest level); a story of American society and of European royalty; a story of family strife exploding into one of the most dramatic and publicized court battles of the century-the battle for a solemn ten-year-old child, "little Gloria" Vanderbilt, who in 1934 was the object of the epic custody suit between her mother, the beautiful and penniless Vanderbilt widow, and her aunt, the famous Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, whose $78 million could buy her anything she wanted.
And what she wanted was "little Gloria."We come to understand and care about this child as we observe, close up, the astonishing lives and intrigues surrounding her, and we see little Gloria pushed to choose between her mother and her aunt, making the decision that will affect her whole life. For the first time, the thousands of pages of documents and sealed court testimony have been unearthed and explored.
Hundreds of people have been interviewed. And a writer completely knowing about society and the period has used all this material to create a compelling narrative of vitality, resonance, and fascination. Combining her extraordinary abilities as an investigative reporter with the skills and sensitivity of a novelist, Barbara Goldsmith has given us a galvanizing story, a whole world of astonishing emotional and social circumstances, unforgettably revealed.
