He began his high-society career as Mrs. Caroline Astor's "wing-man", later moving on to Mrs. Styvesant Fish's friend society adviser. Harry attended all of the parties, dinners, balls, luncheons, and other entertainment venues of the elite. His sense of humor was legendary. Women wanted to marry him, or wanted him for their daughters. Men knew that they must pass muster with Harry. He helped select the who's who. He set the rules for the elite. He created memorable gatherings - everything from the ultra posh, to the outrageous. To a young mother widow like Bessie, he sounded like a catch - one who would accompany her to all the required social engagements in style, while making her laugh in the process.The only problem was, Harry had no money, yet possessed a tremendous desire to live as well as his posh friends. Bessie lived comfortably, as her family was the Drexel banking family. To Harry, she was the perfect catch. However, he did not love her, and advised her of that fact on their wedding night. The sting of knowing that her husband deceived her was difficult enough, but for this societal class, in the Victorian era, a woman simply didn't get divorced. Bessie's own mother would not receive a divorced person into her home, and Bessie worried that her mother's health could not tolerate the burden of knowing that her daughter's marriage was a sham. Years later, following Harry's death, Bessie used the opportunity to write a tell-all book about she Harry's life together. Perhaps she found it therapeutic to finally get the story off her chest after nearly 3 decades of living a lie.The book is quite nice. Bessie's sweet personality comes forward, and her descriptions of a life that most of us will never know are well-defined and vivid. Harry was a monster. He verbally psychologically assaulted Bessie throughout the duration of their marriage. Even when he displays a tender gesture to Bessie upon learning that her beloved mother has just died, he quickly follows it up with a nasty display of hostility. I believe that Bessie grappled with the dichotomy of her feelings toward Harry. While he treated her miserably in private, he was very attentive to her publicly. In a way, she almost pitied him - to the point that she chose to stay married, even after her mother's death. As I mentioned, Bessie was sweet. It wasn't in her nature to be horrible to him directly. Even her tell-all book gives him far more praise then he likely deserved.It does help to have an understanding of the main characters that made up high-society in this era prior to reading the book. As well, the more that a reader understands about how such a household is run, the function of each servant, the expectations of a wife in this station of life, and other such related matter, will help the reader comprehend some of what she describes. (a dabbling of French wouldn't hurt as well). All in all, if the lifestyles of the obscenely wealthy interests you, this is a wonderful companion book that does tell a few stories about the elite that they might not want told about them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.The Rich and PointlessBy Steven SutorDully predictable, much of what is in this book has been quoted--over and over--elsewhere. It's protagonists, the author and Mr Lehr, lived an aimless life, she unhappy because she couldn't divorce the wildly homosexual Mr Lehr as her mother didn't approve of divorce, he striving for renown and social acceptance. All in all, it's a story of two terribly uninteresting people, recounted in the most mundane way.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Four StarsBy karen m schneiderThis poor woman...tends to be a slow read though.See all 9 customer reviews...
