   One criticism of The Last Castle is that there isn't much in the book about their marital relationship. The many trips they took together are noted. Edith and George begin establishing traditions at the Biltmore and their visitors include family, friends and many of the famous artists and writers and other famous of the day.

8. People also ask

   Is the last castle a good book?

   • The book after all is called, The Last Castle, and not the George W. Vanderbilt Story. Fascinating, and a much-welcome addition to Gilded Age history taking place outside of the usual haunts of Manhattan and Newport. Kiernan handles the people better than the house itself, which has its pluses and minuses, though her approach is largely successful.
