This was intriguing so I ordered the book. And it made me think of that famous Fitzgerald quote about the rich (what I guessed may be in some way your "aristocrat")
"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand."
I always wonder how many periods would have turned out completely differently if it wasn’t for the rich closing their ranks and the casualties that occurred as a result. Would love to know what you think of the book.
Well shit, now I have another book to read.
I’d love to know what you think of it.
It’s a quick read. :)
Absolutely. I'm going to start it as soon as I finish my current read. It's already downloaded on my Kindle.
