This is a beautifully illustrated account of the three main homes of
Marjorie Merriweather Post (1887–1973), through the 1950s to 1970s. From
1957 onwards Post lived in stately Hillwood in Washington, DC, for
spring and autumn, retreated to Camp Topridge in the Adirondacks for the
summer, and enjoyed the winter season at her glamorous villa Mar-A-Lago
in Palm Beach, Florida. Post was one of America’s most stylish and
powerful women and this book, strongly evocative of the lifestyle
magazines of the period, offers a vibrant and intimate picture of life
in each residence—for Marjorie Post, her guests, and her staff.
