#Aprella #AmericanMoney Gerald Murphy was being groomed to take over the family business,legendary leather goods company Mark Cross , but he would have none of it. Both he and wife Sara had an artistic bent & fled to Europe to avoid family pressures.They socialized with the likes of Dorothy Parker , the Fitzgeralds , the Hemingways, Picasso, & Cole Porter.The depression changed their fortunes , but the experiences they had seem priceless.

#Aprella #AmericanMoney?I don't think you can talk about American money without J.Paul Getty being part of the conversation. I just watched "All the Money in the World" about the 1973 kidnapping of his 16-year old grandson, John Paul Getty III & it's based on this book which I put on my #TBR. If you don't know the story, J. Paul Getty first refused to pay ransom then finally contributed $1 million-the maximum amount that would be tax deductible.

This #Persephone is about American heiresses crossing the Atlantic to marry impoverished British aristocrats. They infused the Brits with #AmericanMoney and in turn adopted the titles & “ruled their lands as well”, so to speak. These marriages were happening frequently at the turn of the century, so much so that the ships were said to be crossing back and forth across the Atlantic like the weaving of a shuttle, hence the title. 💸💸💸
