Glamorous Illusions - review

Glamorous Illusions by Lisa T. Bergren is set in the early part of the twentieth century, a time period that intrigues me. It starts off on a farm in Montana with "common" country people, but quickly switches to a wealthy privileged lifestyle that I had a hard time relating to. The story follows a young lady named Cora as she makes that transition herself. Here's the publisher's synopsis:

The first book in the Grand Tour series, Glamorous Illusions will take readers on a pilgrimage through Europe-and straight into the soul.

It's the summer of 1913 and Cora Kensington's life on the family farm has taken a dark turn. After burying the only father she's ever known, she lost her beau in a tragic accident. Then a stranger comes to call. In one fateful afternoon, Cora discovers that her birth father is a copper king-a man who invites her to tour Europe with her new family. As she travels from England to France, Cora faces the hardships as well as the privileges of assuming the family name. And though now she knows more of her true identity, she soon discovers the journey is only beginning.
