Hi Daisy, I totally enjoyed The Fortune Hunter and sad that I almost finished the American Heiress. I recognise Edith Wharton and Downton Abbey in it ... coincidence or inspiration?

Daisy Goodwin Edith Wharton is definitely an influence. Well spotted! But The American Heiress came out in the UK before the premiere of Downton Abbey so it may be the other way round... It certainly is a coincidence that the show and the book both have American heiresses called Cora.

So glad you have enjoyed my books. Means a great deal to me to hear from satisfied readers.
