New York journalist Meryl Gordon has interviewed not only the elite of Brooke Astor's social circle but also the large staff who cosseted and cared for Mrs. Astor during her declining years. The result is the behind-the-headlines story of the Astor empire's unraveling, filled with never-before-reported scenes. This powerful, poignant saga takes the listener inside the gilded gates of an American dynasty to tell of three generations' worth of longing and missed opportunities. Even in this territory of privilege, no riches can put things right once they've been torn asunder. Here is an American epic of the bonds of money, morality, and social position.

Would you consider the audio edition of Mrs. Astor Regrets to be better than the print version?
Loved the book, well read by the narrator. There were, however, a lot of people in the story to keep track of...but I guess that's what happens when you are Brooke Astor.What was one of the most memorable moments of Mrs. Astor Regrets?
The saddest thing was the lack of familial love between Mother and son, father and sons.What about Lorna Raver’s performance did you like?
Loved her...her calming voice made following the story easier.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
NO. Needed a break from the fighting.A lot of characters.
