Review & Giveaway: The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
This month’s review and giveaway is of The American Heiress, the debut novel of British author Daisy Goodwin. Goodwin, the daughter of a film producer and writer/interior designer and sister of a writer, comes by her craft honestly. The amount of research performed to enrich the historic storyline is impressive and she writes about British aristocracy expertly.
The story revolves around American heiress Cora Cash. Miss Cash is young, vibrant and charming. And very, very rich. When Cora comes of age, her overbearing mother takes her overseas to find a rich husband of title. Yes, this is how the wealthy dated in the late 1800’s. Why did we ever change this practice?!
During her travels, Cora is rescued by a tall, dark and handsome man. Who happens to be a Duke. After a quick courtship, Cora becomes an American heiress of British title. An aristocrat. An aristoCash! Isn’t life grand? Perhaps not, as she grapples to deal with her devious mother in law, the notorious ‘Double Duchess’ (known as such, as she managed to score not one but two husbands of title in her time). Will she relinquish her hold over the manor for the dazzling new duchess? Will the Duke’s former lover, the gorgeous yet guileful Charlotte Beauchamp, walk away with grace or give Cora a run for her money?? Will the trappings of British formality and custom be too much for Cora to contend with???
This book is a total page-turner. The storyline is incredibly compelling. Goodwin sets the tone and leaves no detail amiss when delicately describing the particulars of daily life towards the turn of the 20th century. Drama, deception, romance and heart-wrenching heartbreak – this tantalizing tome has it all and is the perfect book to curl up in front of the fire with this winter.
The giveaway: For a chance to win a hardcover copy of this book, leave a comment below and let us know who your favourite American Heiress is. Good luck! Contest closes on Saturday, October 29th at midnight EST.

Amazing article. I fell in love with romantic novels like this while in college. Straight males need to stop being afraid of reading. There are amazing stories like Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and from the looks of it, The American Heiress as well; and people need to stop being afraid to read some literature.
I’m so due for a good new book!! Hmm, favorite American Heiress? Do I know any…lol!! Oh what about Paris Hilton? Maybe not my favorite…what about Madonna’s girl Lourdes..is she an Heiress? I like her and I’m glad her mother finally let her wax her eyebrows.
My all-time favourite American Heiress is the bootylicious Kim Kardashian. Does she count?
Desperate Housewife
Yes, Desperate Housewife, Kim K definitely counts. Beauty, bravura and billions – good choice!
Hugs,
Carrie
Paris Hilton certainly counts as an American Heiress. She may be the most infamous one these days. Good job with Lourdes – she will be pretty notorious pretty soon, I think!
Hugs,
Carrie
Congratulations to our winner, Suzanne! Please send your address to Info@CarrieBlogshaw.com and we will have your copy of The American Heiress sent to you.
Hugs,
Carrie
