A new edition of Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan's memoir―the story of the "real" Gladys Russell of The Gilded Age.

Consuelo Vanderbilt was young, beautiful, and heir to a vast fortune. She was also in love with an American suitor when her mother chose instead for her to marry an English Duke. She sailed to England as the Duchess of Marlborough in 1895 and took up residence in her new home―Blenheim Palace. She was the real American heiress who lived long before Gladys Russell of The Gilded Age arrived.

Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan was a generous, welcoming, and amused observer of the intricate hierarchy in which she lived - both upstairs and downstairs. She was a perceptive witness to glittering balls, huge weekend parties, and major state occasions she attended or hosted allowing her to chronicle her encounters with every important figure of the day―from Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Queen Alexandra to Tsar Nicholas and the young Winston Churchill.

The Glitter and the Gold is a richly enjoyable memoir and a revealing true portrait of a time and the life of a young woman now being celebrated every week in The Gilded Age.
