Allison Pataki talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her latest historical fiction, The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection.
Marjorie created an amazing life for herself. She served as a host to presidents, accompanied her husband as an ambassador to the Soviet Union, and changed how Americans ate. The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post tells the true story of how she made the journey from small town farm girl to a world of wealth, influence, and high society.
Allison talks to Carol about discovering Marjorie’s story and the ways Marjorie balanced her societal, political, and charity efforts. And yes, they dish about her four marriages. It’s a lively conversation about a woman and a book that could make for a great book group discussion.
