My wife Donna Lucey's bio "Archie and Amelie: Love and Madness in the
Gilded Age" is reviewed in today's NY Times (7/3).  A rave from Janet
Maslin.  Amelie Rives (also known as the Princess Troubetzkoy, after her
second marriage) was a best-selling novelist from Albemarle County; Archie
Chanler was her first husband, and the founder of Roanoke Rapids, NC,
which was built with Astor money.  Many important VA personages appear in
the book, and it's a fascinating look at post-Civil War society here.
