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.
