[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that I have read the book I find her shallow. Way too many references to various clubs, degrees, properties, family names etc. Women in these circles become obsessed with status and their social lives. Their priorities aren’t their husbands. It’s not surprising to me he got tired of her and left. [/quote] I didn’t get that vibe at all. I think she was giving context to the lives they led. She actually sounds very low key to me. She wasn’t a socialite at all. They chose a quiet corner of the Vineyard for a house over glitzier Edgartown not to mention Nantucket or the Hamptons. They lived downtown and not on the UES. Their kids went to the less ritzy downtown private schools when I am sure their legacy status could have gotten them into Spence and Buckley. It sounds like he wanted the flashier lifestyle since he grew up with a lot less than his peers. She is over all that.[/quote]
