Have you ever picked up a book and wondered where it had been before, well welcome to the world of bookcrossing!

Bookcrossing is a wonderful place to share your love of reading with people all over the world and follow a book as it continues on its travels.

Please journal this book, describing where you found it, and then if you want to, what you thought of it. You can remain anonymous if you want to, though if you create a screen name you will be able to get notification each time someone else journals this book in the future.

When you have finished with it please release the book by leaving it somewhere where it will be found (please make a journal entry stating where you left it), and let it continue its journey.

Help keep its journey alive!Following this books travels can be very fun.

Traveling abroad with her mother at the turn of the twentieth century to seek a titled husband, beautiful, vivacious Cora Cash, whose family mansion in Newport dwarfs the Vanderbilts’, suddenly finds herself Duchess of Wareham, married to Ivo, the most eligible bachelor in England. Nothing is quite as it seems, however: Ivo is withdrawn and secretive, and the English social scene is full of traps and betrayals. Money, Cora soon learns, cannot buy everything, as she must decide what is truly worth the price in her life and her marriage

Started reading this while in Helsinki...enjoyable sitting in the park overlooking the water. Hopefully I will finish it on my way to Bangkok .

Did manage to finish the book by the time I had reached Bangkok. I did not find the love story to be very convincing as it was not based in much...seemed to be more of a case of infatuation with little communication, hence the problems that followed. It was interesting to see the different perspectives on how the rich/privileged lived at that time.
