THE BLUEBIRD IS AT HOME

by Brooke Astor ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 9, 1965

An overdressed diversion is full of filmy fashion detail and Social Notes from All Over (Washington Embassies to the Colony in New York-- in the '20's and '30's, its author is Mrs. Vincent Astor) and tells about Jane, eighteen when first met, an arrested ingenue. And it doesn't seem likely that she'll develop any further. She marries very wealthy Jim Allstead who, long before the honeymoon is over, finds her unresponsive in bed, even though she loves him. She attempts one or two corrective flirtations-- with a handsome skier married to an aunt, with a B.O.M. novelist, and Jim has an affair with her very best friend. Justifiably upset, she goes out and buys ""delicious"" things at Bergdorf's, then makes a deliberate attempt to change herself and finds that it all comes natural after all... A frilly, silly story, sort of like maribou.
