Gilded: How Newport Became America's Richest Resort by Deborah Davis
Disappointing: I wish it had focused more on the cottages in their heyday and less on gossipy personalities.

The President Is a Sick Man by Matthew Algeo
I imagine a lot of readers will feel put out by what seems like a short tale padded with irrelevant filler, but I found the digressions charming. This is a great slice of history; recommended.The publisher provided me with a digital review copy of this book.
