Reviews with the most likes.
I really enjoyed the first half(-ish) and got bogged down in the second with WWII, but that's just my personal preference. We got a lot more of Catherine's life than we did of Almina's in her book, just because of how long each of their husbands lived. There's a lot of Almina in this one too, though, so it's a good follow-up.
What were the real people who live in the real Downton Abbey like? I must confess that I expected a People magazine article stretched into a book but this book was much, much better than that. Aside from the fame that came with being a lady and an earl, these were interesting people with interesting lives. So for Downton Abbey fans and for people who just like a good read as well.
