A review by sarahtokar
Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey by Fiona Carnarvon
informative
reflective
medium-paced
3.0
I liked this book bc I have met the author and toured the home. Also LOVED Downtown Abbey, and this real life story echoes that show's characters/events. (Lots of aristocrats with titles and drama and money troubles.). I liked the book best when it focused on the WWII years. The author does a good job of not over-romanticizing her husband's family (being honest about their failed loved affairs and other issues). I listened to this book on audio.
