What a boring book, focused on the pathetic life of a 10 year old child born into an american family of 'property but no money'. Why she identifies herself as an aristocrat, I cannot comprehend. The family seem to be mentaly unstable lushes who take no responsiblity for their children or their society. There was nothing 'brave' in her escape from the clan, no one was holding her there. I think this book is her revenge on the family name. Get over yourself girl! The review by Parnassus [below] sums it up well. This book is hardly worth the paper on which it is published.
