The Duchess

Well, I cheated...  I was bogged down by this book and I rented the movie.  After watching the movie, I now know I will never finish this book.  I happened to grab this book at Target, as I was desperate for a book.  It's a biography about the life of the Duchess of Devonshire, who lived in the late 1700s.  She was an extremely influential woman in England during her lifetime.  She set the fashion trends and used her influence and fame to promote the Whig party and the candidates she admired.  I'm not going to finish this book because it's too slow moving and her private life is just so sad.
