We’re reading The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki. It is a historical novel about Marjorie Merriweather Post, the heiress to the Post cereal fortune who became one of America's wealthiest women, a business leader, and a major philanthropist. The book chronicles her life from humble beginnings in Battle Creek, Michigan, through her four marriages, her role in building the General Foods empire (including acquiring Birdseye Frozen Foods), her time as a diplomat's wife in the Soviet Union, and her creation of the Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens. It explores her business acumen, social influence, and personal life as she navigated the 20th century, hosting presidents and shaping history.
