Rating: 5
Summary: Charming and Informative
Comment: There is no one in contemporary New York society who would dispute that Brooke Astor is its grande dame. Since being widowed by the fabulously wealthy Vincent Astor, Mrs. Astor has devoted her life to good works, and to giving away his huge fortune to worthy beneficiaries.
FOOTPRINTS, however, is about her earlier years. Mrs. Astor celebrated her 100th birthday quite conspicuously a number of years ago, so she was born right at the cusp of the 20th Century.
She was raised in an upper class family which took their status, and the life style such status afforded, without a second thought. Thus, Mrs. Astor was raised with servants and estates and a gracious manner of living which shaped the lady she became.
FOOTPRINTS offers a good look into life as it was lived by the American upper classes a century ago, as well as revealing clues as to why Mrs. Astor matured to be such a great lady. And she also turns out to be a good writer as well.
